Railway Workshop - Indoor Picnic and Play!
We've completed works to our narrow gauge railway and developed an engine workshop that is open. Our collection includes two locomotives, two steam cranes and various wagons in active use, as well as examples of early narrow gauge plate and trucks, so you can see the dockyard's locos up close and personal! On occasions, you'll see the 'Engineer' at work as maintenance is carried out. See the locos in action rumble through the dockyard on weekends once a month - see Events pages for details. The Railway Workshop is also home to the indoor picnic facilities and the soft play area where youngsters can let off their own steam.
Picnic Facilities
You may wish to bring your own picnic with you to enjoy in the quiet and secluded Commissioner’s House Garden or on one of the other grass areas within the site. Picnic tables are located next to the outdoor children’s play area.
