For a great day out with younger children. Park at the Bodiam station, walk down to the Bodiam Boating station and catch the river cruise to Bodiam Castle - where you can enjoy some of the activities they hold in the holidays, picnic, enjoy the castle or go to the National Trust cafe. Then catch the KES railway back to your car. We would advise that you book the river cruise beforehand at Bodiam Boating Station and check to see what is on at Bodiam castle before you plan your day. The railway you see today at 10½ miles in length is a fine example of one of England’s light railways and originally part of a larger system which operated between Headcorn and Robertsbridge. The K&ESR was the very first ‘light railway’ to be constructed: light railways are equipped with full size trains, but have steep gradients and operate at low speed. Passenger trains ran from 1900 until 1954 but an ambitious scheme to reopen the railway from Tenterden was proposed, although it was not until 1974 that the first trains were able to run on a short section of line. The registered charity that now owns and operates the line was able to finally restore services to Bodiam in time for the centenary of the line in 2000: today the K&ESR welcomes around 90,000 people each year.e’ve a unique collection of trains, some of which are approaching 150 years old – but still going strong!
