West Somerset Railway

Lulu recommends picnicking on board this line, arriving in Minehead in time for an ice cream from the booth in front of the station. 'You can access the line at several stations, so can make the journey as long or short as you want,' she says. 'Blue Anchor has a fabulous signal box if you are that way inclined.'
