We had an absolutely fantastic day at Rowsley South Railway! The Yorkshire group has a small layout in one of the carriages, where they run electric trains and even have a motor to simulate an escaped gorilla. The station itself is beautiful, with a lovely café run by two friendly ladies serving delicious teas, coffee, all-day breakfast cobs, and a wonderful lunch menu. They also have a shop at the train station and... View all feedback.

Great 1940s weekend. Sadly not advertised very well, coincided with other local free events. This led to a small public audience compared to previous years.
We visited Peak Rail a couple weeks ago and the whole experience was absolutely delightful from start to finish. Highly recommended. Totally different from the Severn Valley and Great Central. It was great to see the Robert Stevenson Hawthorn 0-4-0 working hard. ALL the staff were friendly and informative giving the visit a really nice feel. Rowsley is probably best for parking.
Fantastic steam train day out for the whole family, went on a children go free day, it’s £15 per adult for a return but if you go for the 11am train you can get the train to Matlock spend the day in Matlock and catch the last train back! It’s great there’s a lovely cafe serving refreshments the staff were all very friendly and professional! Drinks and food reasonably priced! Could also bring a picnic to enjoy. Lovely fun day out for anyone that loves trains thank you
Lovely trip along the side of the river Derwent between Rowsley South and Matlock. It's quite a short trip but the scenery is beautiful and the volunteers are very welcoming.
Have visited Peak Rail many times over the years. Always nice to see what progress has been made since our last visit.

They also have a shop at the train station and operate a diesel engine and a saddle tank motor. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a lovely cup of tea while watching the last train come around 4, filled with happy families. Thank you to everyone involved for a great day!
