The Railway

Sit back and enjoy a ride on one of the country's finest miniature railways.

The Eastleigh Lakeside Miniature Railway has been delighting generations of visitors since 1993 - having grown in scale and popularity, it is now regarded as one of Hampshire's must-visit family destinations.

Begin your journey at Parkway Station, the railway’s main terminus - not just a starting point, but home to a cafe, gift shop and 9 hole crazy golf course.

Embark on a 1¼ mile 20 minute round-trip through Lakeside Country Park. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, from birds & rabbits to the herd of cows! 

Midway through your journey, stop off at Monks Brook Station where children can explore the adventure playground, whilst the whole family can unwind with a picnic in the park’s green spaces.

Then board one of the regular return trains to travel through the UK's longest miniature railway tunnel!

Trains are hauled by our impressive fleet of coal-fired steam and diesel locomotives, all running on miniature tracks of 7 ¼ and 10 ¼ inches.

A journey can be enjoyed, regardless of weather conditions, with a choice of open carriages to catch the sunshine, or under cover on the less pleasant days.

All trains have a luggage carriage, built especially to accommodate buggies and folded wheelchairs/mobility scooters.
