The show will go on

To coin a phrase, we have a slight problem, but the Show will Go On.

The slight problem is a group of travellers who have made their current home at the end of Loomer Road. This is blocking the main public access to our site:-

However, we will still be running trains this coming weekend - 12 & 13 April, and also Saturday/Sunday/Monday over the Easter weekend.
Instead of accessing the site via Loomer Road, we recommend that you park at the Country Park Visitor Centre, accessed off Black Bank Road. There is a map here:-

It’s about ten minutes through the park on foot from the car park to our railway station. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. As you can imagine, we are not happy with the situation on Loomer Road, but it is completely outside our control.
