Previous Entry Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway Next Entry

Al, Helen and I spent a plesent Sunday afternoon exploring the world's largest miniature railway or is it the world's smallest public railway? We also took a trip up the old lighthouse at Dungeoness. However, we weren't able to visit the visitors' centre at the nuclear power plant because it's closed permanently.

The railways is quite cool. They have tiny steam locomotives running on 15" gauge track. However they are 1/3 scale representations of big locomotives and look really stunning.

Photos here.

I've wanted to do the RH&D for a while.

But I did visit the Dungeness visitor centre on a school trip when young, so I have that over you.

I keep meaning to go there, it just takes a long time to get there from Croydon by public transport, and that keeps putting me off.

It looked pretty flat around there... in fact isn't there an airport?

Lydd airport is quite close. I've flown over that area quite recently on my way back from Le Touquet.

There you go then.

Either that or flag a lift with [info]bellinghman as he seems to fancy a trip.
