Heritage themed Miniature Railway Open Day
Bridge View Light Railway, c/o Russell's Garden Centre, Mill Hill, Baginton, Coventry, West Midlands, CV8 3AG
Originally devised in the Victorian period, ‘model engineering’ 7¼‘’ railways like ours play host to a range of train shapes, sizes and ages with enough power to pull a car and with some of ours dating to the mid-20th century. The Bridge View Light Railway is a volunteer run community project to build and operate a heritage themed miniature railway along the beautiful riverbank of the Sowe in Baginton Village. Our group of volunteers will be running the railway for scenic rides through the garden and along the riverbank.
Other highlights include our 1970s styled station, with gift shop perfect for young and old enthusiasts.
Those with other interests can enjoy and a walk around the extensive landscaped ‘Secret Quarry Gardens and visit the onsite garden centre.
Complete your visit with refreshments available at the onsite garden centre café.
