This is the last of my Cockington Green postings. The gardens also boasted a miniature railway, but not the ones already seen. This one pulled a passenger train around the gardens on a picturesque elevated track hauled by a steam engine. Max very much enjoyed the ride which delivered us back to the "Parsons Nose" tea house - typical of those found in the English countryside - for a quick snack before heading home.
Max enjoyed reading the questionable sign from the Somerset and Dorset Railway, as would most small boys!

What a great place to visit and what an amusing sign from the S & D Railway. I have seen that sign before and it was a real sign but referring, of course, to clearing the cylinder drain cocks! The real railway was closed in the Beeching cuts in the 1950's but the Swanage to Corfe Castle Railway lives in enthusiasts hands and we usually have a trip or two on it each year plus a meal on the special dining trains which take you slowly up to Corfe Castle and back twice as you eat a delicious meal.
