If you’re a fan of cheese and vintage trains – this Kent experience combines the two and will be returning this month.
Returning from May 31, Spa Valley Railway in Tunbridge Wells will be bringing back its popular Kent Cheese Train experience.
The heritage railway company will be joining forces with fellow local business The Cheese Shop to create a unique experience, where guests will hop aboard one of these vintage trains with carriages dating back to the 1960s, where they’ll feast on four different locally produced cheeses.
Beginning at Tunbridge Wells and ending at Eridge Station, the railway is what remains of the Weald Line, which ran 25 miles between Lewes and Tunbridge Wells before it closed in 1985.
The Kent Cheese Train will take place on selected weekend dates over the summer up until August 23.
For £35 a person your ticket will include entry to the railway, along with a selection box of cheeses paired with chutney and crackers, as well as a drink which can be chosen upon booking, including options like cider or wine.
Founded in the 80s, this preserved heritage railway lets you get up close with vintage steam and diesel engines, and explore the quaint surroundings of these historic train stations.
The station is accessible by nearby Tunbridge Wells station, with a train taking just 55 minutes from Central London or by car with parking available nearby.
Tickets are available to book online for £35 a person, with the next date taking place on May 31 at 3:30pm, leaving from Tunbridge Wells West.
