Embark on a nostalgic journey aboard the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway, traveling 28 miles from Cheltenham Race Course to Broadway. Wind your way through the picturesque Cotswolds countryside, stopping at charming heritage stations reminiscent of a bygone era. As you chug along, enjoy stunning views spanning the Cotswolds to the Malvern Hills, passing through quaint villages, over viaducts, and through atmospheric tunnels.

Broadway, your final stop, is a quintessential Cotswold gem. A short 20-minute walk from the station brings you to the top of its High Street, lined with honey-hued buildings and historic architecture. Spend your afternoon exploring quirky antique shops, boutique stores, and inviting cafés or restaurants, soaking in the charm of this idyllic village. For those seeking adventure, the nearby Cotswold Way offers scenic trails to explore.

With flexible station stops like Winchcombe and Toddington, you can hop off to explore features such as the model railway coach or the 1950s-style tea room. Your journey lasts approximately one hour each way, with unlimited travel included in your Rover pass. We recommend catching the 10:55 train from Cheltenham Race Course, arriving in Broadway at 11:56, allowing time to explore before the return trip at 15:20. Check the timetable for alternate train options, including Diesel locomotives, to suit your schedule.
