Watercress Line Heritage Railway

Ropley Station, Alresford, SO24 9JG. England

Let off steam at this living history railway! Experience the nostalgic sights, sounds and smells of steam as you travel through 10 miles of beautiful Hampshire countryside, adjacent to the South Downs National Park. Your journey can take you through any of the line’s four stations. (Alresford, Ropley, Medstead and Four Marks or Alton.)

They offer a wide range of educational visits and learning opportunities for schools to visit the railway. These range from the Little Locos express visits for Key Stage One to their evacuee experience for Key Stage 2 and their STEM bridge-building challenge for schools and other learning groups.
