Cool Places
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway
The Railway Station Havenstreet PO33 4DS
Whether you’re an avid rail buff or not, one of the best experiences on the island is the chugging, three-mile journey through beautiful wooded countryside between Smallbrook Junction (near Ryde) and Wootton, via Havenstreet. The locomotives, carriages and stations are maintained in pristine condition and there’s an impressive collection of rolling stock, some dating back more than a century. The turn-of-the-century ambience is fully realized by impeccably dressed and remarkably knowledgeable staff.
