Location description
The South Devon Railway is one of Devon’s and the West Country’s best loved tourist attractions and is the longest established steam railway in the south west.
It is a seven mile former Great Western Railway branch line, built in 1872, which runs along the stunning valley of the River Dart between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. We run steam trains with heritage rolling stock and offer a wonderful all day attraction for families and people of all ages.
Buckfastleigh is where our main car park is. It is between Exeter and Plymouth on the A38. Leave at the Dart Bridge junction and follow the brown signs.
From Paignton, Torquay, Dawlish and Teignmouth, travel via Newton Abbot and the A383 to the A38. There is ample car and coach parking. Satnav: TQ11 0DZ.
