They also have a museum which is housed in the former railway stables. This has a wealth of railway and world war exhibits. Up the slope past the museum, there is a WWII Anderson shelter and a Pillbox which houses one of the smallest museums in the country.
There are a couple of spots where you can watch the trains depart and you can explore the woodland with public footpaths. A footpath also runs the entire length of the railway.
