Eastleigh Lakeside Miniature Railway

About

Where little trains create big family fun! Join us at one of the country's finest miniature railways, where our magnificent fleet of little locomotives will take you on an enjoyable 1 ¼ mile journey around Lakeside Country Park. Bring your competitive edge to our 9-hole crazy golf course, enjoy tasty meals and scrumptious snacks from Lakeside Café and treat yourself to a New Forest Ice Cream or souvenir in our Station Shop.

With regular events held throughout the year such as the Hallowscream Express and Santa Specials, there is fun for the whole family! We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!
