Discover the South Downs in one of the most unique ways
Turn back the clock and step into the 50s with this unique Hampshire steam train experience for two - that comes with fish and chips.
Wether you’re a train enthusiast or simply want to embark on a different type of day out, this could be perfect for you.


Travel through the edges of the South Downs National Park on the Watercress Line for an hour and 45 minutes of picturesque scenery and unmatched views. During the 20-mile return trip, you will also be able to tuck into fish and chips, which will be served at the start of the journey.
The experience, which costs £95 for two people, also includes a sweet treat in the form of a flapjack and is available on selected Saturdays and Sundays.
From start to finish, this steam train trip lasts approximately two and a half hours and it is advised to book the excursion at least six weeks in advance.
