Visit by Train

This website provides a station-by-station guide to tourist attractions which can be reached by train. I hope it will encourage you to make greater use of public transport for leisure travel. Each attraction is described briefly with approximate opening times, a telephone number to confirm details and wherever possible a link to the attraction's website. The pages are designed to be useful when printed out so that you can take a copy with you when travelling.
