About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

Housed in a restored Grade II listed railway building, this museum is a fantastic choice of day out for the whole family. The museum tells the story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on the Great Western Railway. With archive film footage, hands-on exhibits, interactive displays and memorabilia, you'll be sent back in time to discover some fascinating locomotive history.
