Steam & Miniature Railways

KENT & EAST SUSSEX RAILWAY

Tenterden Town Station, Station Road, Tenterden, Kent, TN30 6HE

Step back in time with the Kent & East Sussex Railway (K&ESR) — one of Britain’s most cherished heritage railway experiences. Founded by Colonel H.F. Stephens in 1900, the K&ESR winds through some of the most beautiful countryside in Kent and East Sussex, offering visitors authentic steam and diesel‑powered train rides along 10½ miles through the unspoilt Rother Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Begin your journey from Tenterden Town Station, a delightful market town overflowing with charm. Along the route, you’ll pass through classic rural stations such as Northiam and arrive at Bodiam, where the majestic Bodiam Castle stands nearby, offering a magical vista only visible from this heritage line.
