Angela Corona described this place as...

The Kent & East Sussex Railway is the country's finest example of a rural light railway.The line gently wends its way from Tenterden, 'The Jewel of The Weald', through the unspoilt countryside of the Rother Valley to terminate at Bodiam Castle. Whether you are interested in heritage, shopping, nature, food and drink, or recreation, there is always something to enjoy when visiting the Kent & East Sussex Railway.

A great day out on Sunday (the Kent Big Weekend 2012) with the Kent and East Sussex Railway. The countryside was so pretty with primroses along the embankment, newly born lambs scampering as the steam train made its way along the track. We watched the swans on the water. On our way to Northiam alighting for a visit to the Mill Pedal and Toy Museum and then Bodiam castle. Thank you.

We were fortunate enough to get tickets to ride on the Kent and East Sussex Railway for Kent's Big Weekend 2012, we had a fantastic day with beautiful sunshine, perfect for spotting lots of baby lambs along the way. Steam train is definitely the most romantic way to travel. We'd recommend it to everyone young or old :)

We visited the K&ESR recently when they had the 1940s weekend. It was great fun and lovely to see so many people dressed in clothes of that era. There was also music and dancing and on the Saturday there was a fly past by a Lancaster, a Spitfire and a Hurricane. There are lots of other themed events throughout the year including Hoppers, Thomas and Santa weekends.

Went here as part of the Big Weekend on Saturday 26 March 2011. The ticket allowed an all day travel and drop off return ticket from Tenderden to Bodium Castle and also for entry into the Mill Toy Museum. Enjoyed the day thoroughly and would recommend unreservedly.
