Cambrian Heritage Railway
About This Museum
It all started with a group of passionate volunteers who refused to let this slice of railway history fade away. Today, you can step back in time at the old Oswestry station, where the smell of coal smoke and the sound of hissing steam feel utterly authentic. The star of the show is a ride on a lovingly restored vintage train that chugs through the Shropshire countryside. It’s not just a museum; it's a living, breathing piece of Britain's industrial past.
Collection Highlights
You can get up close to several beautifully restored steam and diesel locomotives, but don't miss the small museum tucked in the old station building—it's packed with railway memorabilia, from vintage tickets to old signal equipment.
Visitor Information
It's best to check their website for running days before you go, as they're volunteer-run and don't operate every day. The station is right in Oswestry, so it's easy to find and makes for a perfect afternoon out.
Architecture & Building
The heart of it all is the original Oswestry station building, a charming example of Victorian railway architecture with its classic red brickwork and traditional platform awning.
