Lappa Valley Steam Railway, is a railway with steam trains running between Benny Halt and East Wheal Rose train stations. The train travels, as its name suggests, through the Lappa Valley. The railway was opened in 1849, so today the tracks are probably the oldest tracks in Cornwall. The original lines closed in 1963, and the Lappa Valley Railway was formed in 1974 to provide the wonderful tourist attraction we have today.
The track was changed to a minature guage track, which I presume means it was narrower than a regular track, but still capable of running a full size steam prototype (as opposed to running miniature trains). The guage is 15 inch, as opposed to a full size guage, nearly four times the size.
This is a fun day out and if you can catch a sunny day, you will enjoy the day even more. The sound of a steam train, coupled with the rumbling track and traditional steam odours make for a realistic experience.
