Statfold Barn Railway

Statfold Barn Farm, located close to Tamworth in Staffordshire, is the home to the Statfold Barn Railway which, under the guidance of owners Graham & Carol Lee over the last fifteen years, has grown to become what must be the most significant collection of narrow gauge locomotives in the UK. With over 30 steam locomotives and many internal combustion locomotives, representing most British and several overseas manufacturers. With the recent establishment of the Statfold Narrow Gauge Trust the future of this unique collection is ensured beyond the lifetime of its owners. As well as our public open & enthusiast days, Statfold also offer Driver Experience Days, educational tours & special events including Santa Express Trains, Halloween Steam & Scream and much more..!

Really enjoyable day out to a local railway that we didn't know existed until a few months ago. Went to' Road and Rail' weekend and was amazed to see how many engines were in steam all day, with options of tram ride or just meandering around the site and museum. Ample, well organised parking and the whole site itself was clean and very well marshalled. Covid 19 measures were excellent, with plenty of sanitiser points and staff cleaning everywhere. Highly recommended and well worth a visit

Myself and my good lady booked a ski level 1 & 2 ahead of our ski holiday to Chamonix, the tuition we had was brilliant, David was confident, reassuring, and very patient, he taught us the basics of slow speed control. Ski level 2 was with Peter, again, brilliant, he taught us how to to start making turns, he explained what we needed to do in very simple terms, reassured me when I cocked it up, told me what I did wrong and how to correct it. Genuinely couldn’t wish for better instructors, big thanks to both of you. Thanks.

RSPB Middleton Lakes

Reviewed By TrayFish - Rugby, United Kingdom

This nature reserve is truly beautiful.There is much to see and we spotted some great-spotted woodpeckers on the bird feeders which was delightful; we saw green woodpeckers and reed buntings sitting in the reeds. Amazing to see the birds up close and amazing to see them feeding out of your hand if you’re lucky. Not just birds to see though: we spotted a rat beside the river and a miniscule mouse in the woodland. If you are looking for a place for a calm relaxing walk THIS is the place.Also, the walkways are very clear but advise you to bring wellies on a muddy wet day. Lovely to see such are wide range of wildlife around this area and nice to see the wildlife in this fresh, clean area of land which is kept by the kind,helpful RSPB helpers around this ground. DEFINITELY coming back back and I advise you to because it is a truly wonderful place to see wildlife up close.

Our main arena has over 100 interlinked trampolines, and includes: dodgeball court, volleyball court, air bag for stunt jumping and a specialised tots area!

Had a fab afternoon at Jump, the kids loved it! really good value for money, the staff were helpful and friendly, the place is absolutely spotlessly clean, (quite often soft play places I've visited before have a grubby feel to them), the food was good and service too. Would definitely recommend and the kids already want to know when we're going back... good afternoon had by all. 5*
