Came here for a footplate ride experience, I was scheduled to ride along with Phil on Southern Maid and I found it to be the most therapeutic and awesome experience I've ever had! Beautiful scenery, wonderful people, lovely memories and a complete joy of a day. I highly recommend that anyone with a flare for railways give this a visit and definitely if you can hop on the footplate, it's an experience to not be missed! Will definitely come again!

Had a great day out on the little trains. Spent time in New Romney and Dungeness. Enjoyed the model railway and enjoyed spotting lots of different trains. Would recommend wrapping up warm if travelling in the open carriages.

Absolutely wonderful little but long miniature railway. The trains are a third of standard size but you can still sit in them and travel for an amazing 14 miles across the Romney Marsh. Several trains operate on most days too so you’ll pass the others at speed on the double track section or at stations. It is worth spending time at New Romney station to visit the model railway and new history exhibition up towards the signal box. The end of the line at Dungeness is a fascinating but bleak unique place with its endless shingle, nuclear power stations and lighthouse that you can go up. You can also get fairly close to the pre Second World War ‘sound mirrors’ which were an experiment to try to hear enemy planes coming pre-radar. They are walkable from Romney Sands station

Great for families and anyone wanting to experience the original world's smallest public railway which runs from Hythe to Dungeness. Could not fault the facilities. Absolutely A1***** Toilets perfectly spotless, cafes are great, stations are scrupulously clean, staff are so welcoming. A lovely day out, all round, and so much to see and do too. All day parking was free at Hythe too.

Definitely got our monies worth. Joined at New Romney, went to Dungeness then all the way to Hythe. A couple of hours wandering around the town then back to the train. All the way to Dungeness then back to New Romney! Very blowy in the open carriage bit but so much fun. A great railway well worth a visit

Absolute exhilarating experience, we parked at Romney; where there is ample parking plus three spaces right outside the station for disabled parking. Great ticket office and souvenir shop available. Childrens play area available while you are waiting. Great station area under cover, long platforms. Multiple carriages available, genuine steam trains albeit a smaller version but absolutely fantastic. We traveled from Romney to Dymchurch and onto Hythe and return. Probably an hour round trip. We paid 2 x £19 adult 1 x £9.50 child. Well worth the expense. Incredibly friendly staff everywhere. Brilliant 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited while on holiday and had an absolute amazing time, visited romney sands holiday park and saw these lovely ladies every day as they went past and rode them, had an absolute fanatic time and I can't wait to ride these engines again in October and hopefully get to drive one. Will be looking to voliteer here in the near future once we've moved closer All the engines are stunning and very beautifull and you can see the pride the drivers have in them and there's a lot of magic for such amazing machines. Glad my farther in law who saw these engines 70 years ago kepted saying we needed too see them and made his 80th birthday special, thank you for such an amazing time and the staff especially at the workshop who took the time to speak too us and make the visit that extra special. Tha k you guys and keep up the stunning work you do.

A miniature engineering marvel. The steam loco's are all nearly 100 years old, just ⅓ size and so very charismatic. New Romney and Hythe stations have plenty of free parking with very easy access from M20. The line runs from Hythe in the north east to Dungeness in the south west via the holiday resort of Dymchurch and the main town on the marsh, New Romney. There's even a station at the Romney Sands holiday park. The landscape changes so much in just 13½ miles. Always flat, but farmland, holiday parks, towns and finally the expanse of shingle that is Dungeness. And Dungeness really is a magical place, with the nuclear power station, lighthouses and cottages dotted across the shingle. Yesterday I was there in pouring rain in the morning and then later in the afternoon when the sun came out. Such contrasts. There are cafes at Hythe, New Romney and Dungeness along with gift shops at these three stations plus Dymchurch. At Hythe it pays to go through the main shop which sells snacks to their main cafe for some lovely food and drinks. New Romney has a large room full of model railway displays plus a working layout, it is an extra cost but very interesting. There are a number of special events through the year, for the enthusiast there are galas, for the kids there are visits from TV characters. They also run driver experiences where you drive the trains. I have done both silver and gold driver experiences and whilst they are well worth the cost. RH&DR has one added plus, that is it's friendliness. it may be the 'world's smallest public railway' but it is definitely the most welcoming.

Great experience taking this train, it was fun. We enjoyed the model train museum too.

Great miniature railway. Our family came today we had a great time. An excellent railway in miniature, our young grandson loved it. We boarded the train at Hythe, plenty of parking, toilets and a shop here. The trains were very clean and well looked after. We bought Rover tickets, which allowed us to ride all day and get on and off at any Station and free admittance to the Model Railway at New Romney, good value for money. All the staff were friendly and polite. All the Stations were clean, tidy and had toilets. A great day out, recommended, well worth a visit

Small but perfectly formed - we visited again after a long time gone to take our well behaved Dog for his first trip to Dungeness on the train. Fabulous ride with all the happy passengers, mainly young children and adult children lol loving the little trains, junction boxes and level crossings, with the nostalgic smell of coal fired steam engines, even the pedestrians were waving like mad, happy to see the pleather of various engines buzz past at multiple stages of the journey. £34 for two adults to return from new Romney to Dungeness, a bit more than we were expecting but due to the excellent work and dedication to all the staff evolved, the prices was to me justified. Finished off with a lunch at the end of the line cafeteria, which had plenty of services, including a special area for diners and their well behaved dogs, a very thoughtful idea - thank you. Would definitely recommend and return again for another enjoyable day...5/5

Fantastic Miniature Railway. The steam trains are so beautiful and well looked after. We really enjoyed our ride of the railway and you can take the dog.

Brilliant day out! Some lovely stops along the way. Great day out whatever the weather and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly!

It seems like a well organised railway. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ticket prices are on the high side though

I’ve been coming here for a few years with the kids. It’s a lovely day out beautiful scenery, great memories, and lovely people! Highly recommend whether you like trains or not! Don’t forget to check out the miniature railway at New Romney well worth a look!

Who doesn't like a miniature steam railway! It's takes approx 1.2hrs one way end-2-end. From Dungeness it's approx. 15min to the first station on Romney Sands, where you can walk back to Dungeness along the beach stopping off for a pint and some fish n chips at "the pilot" pub on the way back. Or stop off at the fish shop just past "Prospect Cottage" for a scallop bap, fish n chips, or some fresh fish to cook at home!

Sorry but I didn’t find this a very enjoyable light railway ride despite having high hopes for the £26 per person return trip to what looked like a shanty town at the end of the rails at Dungeness!!! Having five adults and a baby in one tiny carriage was extremely cramped and uncomfortable. If you were unlucky to sit on the opposite side to fields all you could see was the back wall or gardens of the houses backing onto the track for the most part. When we got to Dungeness it was underwhelming with only a cafe and not enough time to even try to make it to the beach. There are two lighthouses one old and the other connected to a pub and a lovely power station to look at. In my opinion there are far more things to do and places to see where you would get more value for your money.

Popped in here after cycling from Folkestone, the cafe at the back of the station was great, the staff were really friendly and the breakfast was great quality at a good price, was able to secure our bikes on the platform opposite so don't have to worry about those whilst we had breakfast. Will make this our go to spot after riding again. Great to see the trains coming in whilst sitting in the cafe. A great place to stop off or spend a morning or afternoon.

An excellent day out. Timing for lunch at the Britannia is good if you plan, not many trains running in June. Bear in mind, carriages are small, 1/3 size, so can be cramped if you are large or tall. Comfortable enough for the journey. Reasonable value when you consider that unlike Network Rail there is no tax payer subsidy.

My Dad had the best day on his Silver driving experience. Alex and Tom were great, the ‘dream team!’ They made the experience fun and enjoyable for not just my Dad, but for the whole family. A absolute must for any steam train enthusiast! Thank you RHDR, these two are a credit to your team! And we can’t forgot the lovely Mel who sorted us out with hot drinks and cooked our breakfast and lunch with a constant smile on her face! 🙂

Had to give it a try, kids loved it. Nice scenary during the ride. Staffs at the station were all friendly. The facilities were great with the gift shops, toilets and a play area for the kids ideal when waiting for the train. I got persuaded to buy a booklet but good for memory 😁. Ideal day out and experience for the kids. Thanks alot

Worth going upstairs to see the model railway which is very sweet, with plenty of buttons for children to press, really entertaining tiny details and quirks (furry rat on the line!) The little locomotives stop at red lights, disappear in tunnels and reappear. Bit dusty but well loved by volunteers and something for all ages in here.
