Lappa Valley Steam Railway in Newquay, Cornwall, United Kingdom | Rail

THE Lappa Valley Steam Railway
runs on one of the oldest Railway trackbeds in Cornwall. Opened in 1849 as a mineral line from Newquay to East Wheal Rose, it later became part of the Great Western Railway's Newquay to Chacewater branch line.
This was closed in 1963, and in 1974 Eric Booth, the founder of Lappa Valley, reopened part of the line
as a narrow-gauge Railway.

Three Railways in one! Take a two - mile return trip on our steam train to East Wheal Rose where you will find two more miniature trains, canoes and paddle boats, crazy golf, play and picnic areas, nature tRails, brick path maze, historic mine buliding and licensed cafe and gift shop.
