The L.S.R. runs from the historic Cornish town of Launceston through several miles of countryside to the hamlet of Newmills. Trains run throughout the summer, hauled by steam locomotives built to a famous design by the Hunslet Engineering Company in the late 1800's. On site at Launceston station are a café, museum, workshop, well stocked shop and bookshop, and adjacent to the railway at Newmills is a popular farm park (separate charge). Tickets allow you unlimited travel on the day of your visit, so you can ride up and down as many times as you wish, or break your journey for a riverside picnic or to explore the local footpaths. There are also remains of an Augustinian Priory which you can view at Launceston station.
