Helston Railway - Heritage steam and diesel train rides in Cornwall.

Helston Railway is a fully functioning standard-gauge heritage railway in Cornwall, created through the dedication of the Helston Railway Preservation Society. Founded in 2002, the project began with a vision to restore part of the historic Helston branch line, and today it offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience traditional rail travel in one of the UK's most scenic regions.

As the most southerly railway in the UK, Helston Railway provides memorable journeys through the Cornish countryside aboard both steam and diesel trains. Visitors can enjoy relaxing rides with scenic views, making it a great choice for those looking for things to do in Cornwall that combine history and nature.

The railway is dog-friendly, welcoming four-legged companions across the site, including designated areas of the buffet carriages and on trains travelling to and from Prospidnick. On-site facilities also include refreshments, allowing visitors to enjoy good food alongside their railway experience.
