Tamar Valley Train Line

A regular local train journey from Albaston Farm Barn is along the wonderful Tamar Valley Line which has to be one of the most beautiful scenic journey anywhere.  Our local train station is a 10 minute stroll from Albaston Farm Barn with long distance view over to Dartmoor along the way.  This train line goes from Plymouth to Gunnislake and back) and offers visitors the chance to see the heart of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) from the comfort of their seats.
The ticket also acts as a Rover ticket and you can get off the train at any station, wander about, and get back on the next one. This way we have many station to station walks and can fill a day for just the price of one ticket. Special prices sometimes are offered and the best one is the "2+2" where four people can travel for the price of two.

This journey takes about 50 minutes each way and often visitors have stayed on the train to enjoy the round trip and see the views from each side of the train!
