Goodrington sea wall
6th July 2021
This is the sea wall at Goodrington. It was built in the 1860's to carry the railway up to Churston. The sea wall is over 150 years old and still going strong. This photo was taken whilst undertaking our regular coastal inspections to ensure that all of our protection and earthwork assets are secure to enable us to operate our steam trains safely.
Reviews
- Great little railway - You’re given allocated seats with your family bubble and it's all very secure. The carriages have had Perspex screens installed. All staff were friendly and helpful. We got some lovely pictures from the train.
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- Chugging along! - The cruise along the River Dart was delightful and the witty commentary was also very informative. The last leg on the steam train was fantastic - chugging along past the beautiful beaches with children waving to you from the sands. Just priceless! We had the most amazing day, the itinerary is done with military precision and is therefore relaxing and exciting - we really loved it. This has got to be a "must do" trip!
