Dating back to 1725, a whole century before the Stockton and Darlington Railway, Tanfield Railway is the world’s oldest railway and has an unrivalled history.

We deliver unforgettable journeys on a vintage steam train with unique Victorian carriages and lovingly restored locomotives.

Visitors can enjoy a six-mile round trip through beautiful rolling countryside and a spectacular wooded valley. Tanfield Railway offers a exciting and unique line of special events each year designed to showcase the North Easts industrial heritage.
