It was built to serve the Kent Coalfield which was closed in the 1980s. The line is just 4 miles long between Shepherdswell and Eyethorn, with various vintage (mostly diesel-powered) trains. The site also has two miniature railways, a model railway and woodland walk. A cafe is available at Shepherdswell. Whilst much smaller than the other railways in Kent the cost is also about a third of the larger lines. It is ideal for families with young children.
