Travel Information

Train Trail is eight uniquely different train attractions set within splendid North East countryside and easily presented for you to create the perfect day out.

You can enter this world of history, heritage and fun any day you like. You can go at your own pace. You can visit as few or as many of the eight attractions as you like. When you like. And as often as you like. There's useful travel information below to help you plan your day out. If you'd like to stay for longer than a day, or perhaps see what else there is on offer in the area, you'll find a wealth of useful information on visitteesvalley.co.uk
