5 Most Scenic Train Journeys in Cornwall

Five train journeys in cornwall that are all about the adventure.

Cornwall has long been famed for its picturesque scenery and breath-taking landscapes. From moor to coast and everything in-between, this corner of the British Isles has more than its fair share of natural beauty, and what better way to see it than by train! There are some beautiful branch train line rides and also some breath-takingly beautiful steam train rides in Cornwall to be enjoyed, and they really aren’t publicised enough. For this reason, we thought we’d put together our top 5 scenic train journeys in Cornwall for you to experience whilst staying at Trevigue. Enjoy!

St Erth to St Ives Branch Line

The scenic branch line from St Erth to St Ives follows the sweeping crescent of St Ives Bay with awe-inspiring views of the sea from the train window as you pass Carbis Bay and Hayle Towans. The journey takes approximately 20 minutes and is an easy and visually beautiful way of getting to St Ives as parking can sometimes be tricky in the town itself. You can park your car in St Erth, enjoy the short pleasant train ride, and then stroll into St Ives harbour from the station to enjoy the shops, art galleries and restaurants. You could also consider taking The St Ives Bay Line real ales tour. See the  rail ale trail  website for distinctive pubs serving real ales and situated within walking distance of the St Ives Bay Line.

• Tip Sit on the right-hand side of the train when you get on at St Erth for the best views
• Cost £4 (adult off-peak day return)
• Journey Time 20 minutes
• Dogs Welcome Yes
• Booking and Ticket Info

Tamar Valley Line

Perhaps one of the most picturesque train journeys in Cornwall, this line from Gunnislake to Plymouth stops at Plymouth’s historic Royal Naval dockyard, Calstock and all the stunning coastal and riverside places along the way. This branch line follows the River Tamar as it wends its way through 14 miles of countryside and crossing the Calstock viaduct which joins Devon and Cornwall. You will also cross Brunel’s famous Tamar Bridge – a momentous feat of engineering – before travelling through areas once busy with mining activity. If you love Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and historic places of interest, this Cornwall train journey is for you.

• Tip When the train slowly creeps down over the Calstock viaduct120 feet over the river, look closely out of the window and see the National Trust house Cotehele nestled in the woods below.
• Cost £5.80 (adult off-peak day return)
• Journey Time 35 minutes

Atlantic Coast Line

This popular train line from Par to Newquay treats passengers to a truly Cornish train journey through the beautiful Luxulyan Valley and across Goss Moor before the great Atlantic Ocean breaks into view on arrival into surf town Newquay. This route can get very busy in summertime as despite it being only a small branch line, it is the main train route into Newquay town. Once in Newquay there is a popular aquarium (The Blue Reef), many restaurants and pubs and with 8 beaches it is a popular town for surfers, sun worshippers and families alike.

• Tip Hop off the train in Luxulyan for stunning walks and a valley-full of a rich mining heritage waiting to be discovered.
• Cost £4.90 (adult off-peak day return)
• Journey Time 50 minutes

Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway

If you’ve always wanted to experience the glory days of steam-powered locomotives by experiencing an authentic steam train journey in Cornwall, the Bodmin & Wenford Steam Railway is for you. All through the year the heritage railway puts on events such as ‘Santa by Steam’ or the beautifully nostalgic ‘Dining by Train’ where you can enjoy dinner, or an afternoon tea surrounded by the sights and smells of the evocative steam train journey from Bodmin General Station to Bodmin Parkway. You will follow the Camel Trail and take in stunning woodland views. Trains run intermittently during off-peak seasons so do check online (or call 01208 73555) for services.

• Tip Stop at Colesloggett Halt, a peaceful wayside station set amongst the most beautiful scenery, to enjoy a 1.5mile walk along a footpath to Cardinham Woods where there is a charming woodland café serving up the most delicious cakes!
• Cost £13 (adult off-peak day return)
• Journey Time 1hr 45mins
• Dogs Welcome Yes (£1 per ticket)

Looe Valley Line

The journey down to Looe from Liskeard is chock-full of beautiful views; heavily wooded valleys teaming with wildlife open out to glorious estuary views as the river meets the sea. Starting in a heavily wooded valley, the line soon opens out as the river nears the sea past St Keyne Wishing Well Halt and Sandplace. This is one of the most perfect train journeys in Cornwall for bird watchers, especially at low tide, because the river is full of wading birds such as egrets, grey herons, oystercatchers and curlews. Trains run regularly throughout the day. Looe is blessed with some great local independent pubs full of character, such as The Jolly Sailor which dates from 1516.

• Tip Don’t nod off for the last two miles as the stretch between Sandplace and Looe are simply stunning!
• Cost £4.40 (adult off-peak day return)
• Journey Time 1 hour

We can’t wait to welcome you to Trevigue and introduce you to this beautiful corner of the UK. Experiencing it by train is perhaps the most picturesque and evocative way of exploring Cornwall and makes it easy for non-drivers to be able to navigate the stretch of coastline for which Cornwall is famous. Please do get in touch to tell us about your favourite train journeys in Cornwall, and further afield too!

The most scenic train rides in Devon

Our expert guide to the very best scenic train journeys in Devon - from beautiful branch-line rides to sensational steam-train trips

• 10:25, 30 MAY 2019
• Updated 17:25, 5 JUN 2019

Train travel doesn't just have to be about the daily grind - it's also the best way to enjoy Devon's gorgeous scenery at a more leisurely pace.

Easier than a car and more comfortable than a bus, taking the train offers the perfect opportunity to sit back and admire Devon's rolling hills, glorious coastline, fascinating wildlife and sandy beaches .

And as well as the more regular branch-line routes, you can also be transported back to a bygone era by hopping on a lovingly-restored steam train or even visit a miniature railway.

So whether you're in Devon on holiday or enjoying a day out with family or friends, we've got a perfectly picturesque train journey for you.

Here are the most scenic train rides in Devon

The tarka line (exeter central - barnstaple).

Running for 39 miles and following the river valleys of the Yeo and Taw, this journey is not only one of the most scenic in Devon but also the whole of the UK.

It's a perfect way to visit Barnstaple , capital of North Devon , or to reach the great cathedral city of Exeter .

Stop off and explore the historic market town of Crediton and rural Eggesford, where the first state forest was planted in 1919.

Once in Barnstaple, the beautiful North Devon coast is a bus ride away and the famous Tarka Trail starts at the train station.

The Riviera Line (Exeter Central - Paignton)

One of England’s best-loved stretches of railway, this train passes right beside the Exe Estuary and the coast, offering stunning views.

Here it stops at Torre (closest for Torquay town centre), Torquay and Paignton .

The Avocet Line (Exeter St Davids - Exmouth)

Or you can explore on foot, bike, train and ferry with the Exe Trail .

South Devon Railway

This multi-award-winning railway is one of the Westcountry’s best-loved tourist attractions and is the longest established steam railway in the South West.

It's a seven mile former Great Western Railway branch line, built in 1872, which runs along the stunning valley of the River Dart between Buckfastleigh and Totnes .

You can get up-close to a real steam engine and at Woody Bay Station there's a chance to grab a snack or get a drink in the tearooms and garden.

Plym Valley Railway

Travel along a rebuilt one-and-a-half mile section of a former Great Western branch line from Marsh Mills to Plym Bridge.

The heritage railway centre boasts steam and diesel locomotives, carriages, wagons, and other historic railway artefacts to recreate the atmosphere of a bygone age.

Then, when you get off the train, you can explore Plym Bridge Woods , which is a National Trust property.

Devon Railway Centre

This attraction in Bickleigh is set around an original Victorian Great Western Railway station on the former Exe Valley line.

Enjoy unlimited train rides around the centre, while children clip the tickets and wave the flag to start the trains.

There'll also be time to explore the model-railway exhibition with buttons that actually control the trains.

East Devon Line (Exeter St Davids - Axminster)

This journey passes through the beautiful Devon countryside as it heads out from Exeter through Cranbrook and Honiton to Axminster .

Honiton is a traditional market town full of antique shops and famous for its lace-making, while Axminster is an unspoilt market town internationally renowned for its carpets.

Thanks to onwards bus connections, the line is a gateway to the Jurassic Coast.

Journey on the Trans-Siberian: Moscow to Yekaterinburg

This is the second part of a series about my trip across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway in the summer of 2018. I’ll cover the overnight ride from St Petersburg to Moscow, the 16 hours I spent in the Russian capital, and the two-day ride from Moscow to Yekaterinburg.

After a few days in St Petersburg I boarded the overnight train to Moscow. The sleeper train “Red Arrow” departs at 11:55pm. I read (but didn’t confirm) the departure time was set in Soviet times to leave before midnight so travelers could get reimbursed for two working days.

There were three people already in the cabin when I walked in: In one of the top bunks was a girl who looked 20-something, and on the two bottom bunks, two Brazilian men who looked like soccer fans. (It was World Cup summer.)

We exchanged muted hello’s and filled out our breakfast order forms. Without wasting time I followed the process of settling into an overnight cabin:

• Examine and unpack the supplied bedding.
• Make the bed.
• If foreigners are in the cabin, motion to them to follow your lead.
• Exit the cabin to give others room to make their bed and, if they wish, to change into sleeping attire.
• Return when appropriate, and begin smalltalk to spark a deep and cross-cultural conversation that’ll grow richer and bring you closer together with every mile of track until the morning golden hour.

Except the Brazilian men didn’t speak English, and the girl, probably on-guard, remained silent. I went to sleep.

It wasn’t the rocking that stirred me awake every hour, but the impressive guttural symphony coming from the man below me. The snores came in different tones and rhythms, transforming mid-breath with no particular pattern, which made them difficult to ignore. (A few days later, Tatiana, another cabin-mate, refuted my story by telling me sound doesn’t travel upwards. “Then he cheated physics,” I said.) I forced my earplugs deeper and felt relief that this is only a seven-hour trip.

By morning the Brazilians still didn’t speak English but the girl was more inviting. She’s a mother of two—which surprised me—and was headed to Moscow for a meditation seminar. I made whatever smalltalk I could fit between bites of fried cheese fritters until we arrived in Moscow.

It was early morning, and my first objective was to find a quiet part of the city where I can rest until some nearby coffeeshop opens. I took the metro to the nearest patch of green on Google Maps—a park called “Clean Ponds.”

The only available bench was next to a group of Russian men still drinking from the night before. One of the men was slumped over, another was drying in the sun after taking a dip in the pond, another was throwing fists at the wet one, and the rest were fighting to stay upright—only because it’s easier to keep drinking when upright. I decided against napping, and instead enjoyed the scene unfolding to my left.

A woman approached and sat next to me, holding her small dog, and complained about the park’s occupants. Following a light conversation, she lit a cigarette, told me about her (deceased) husband’s medical invention, and proposed I introduce the product to the US market in return for a cut of the profits. She did this while parrying advances from one of the men. (“I have a job and own an apartment in a good location, behind the McDonald’s,” he said.) She gave me her phone number before leaving, probably dreaming of business ventures in America that will not happen.

When the woman left, the party group noticed me. “Where the f— did you come from?!” one of them said. I was prepared to give (and take) a few hits and run, but managed to ease the tension with some jokes and handshakes.

I gave up on rest and went in search of coffee and breakfast.

Irina and Red Square

Irina is a lawyer living in Moscow who’s trying to improve her English. We met on a language-learning website, and arranged to meet in person to walk through the Red Square and practice English/Russian.

The Red Square was staged for the World Cup and crowded with tourists. It felt like the Russian version of Times Square, which I found intolerable. I snapped some shots and hurried us to lunch.

We found a Georgian restaurant just off the main boulevard and spent the next hour chatting about Russia’s legal system, language exams, graduate school, and how long could it possibly take to cook chicken.

In 2007 I was supposed to visit St Petersburg aboard my college’s training ship. My cousin warned me I should brush up on my Russian: “We have smart relatives there, don’t embarrass yourself.” I searched for Russians to chat with online and found Polina.

We spoke every other day in the months leading up to my voyage that summer. I started to like her. We made unrealistic plans for her to travel from Moscow to St Petersburg to meet me for the few days I’d be there. It never happened. Just days before my ship’s scheduled arrival, the captain diverted us to Estonia after failing to get the proper docking permits or visas for Russia. Polina and I exchanged only a few emails over the next decade.

This time, the plan worked.

We met and crisscrossed the Moskva river over bridges as we spoke of life in Russia, her newborn son, traveling, her dreams of returning to freelancing, the things we still do and those we don’t… I don’t remember where we walked or what we passed.

Is this what Captain Smith made me miss? I imagined myself at 19, and Polina getting permission from her mom to take the overnight train to St Petersburg, and my needing to return to the ship by midnight, and maybe ending up like my shipmate and the Croatian girl he fell in love with on the first day in port in Dubrovnik…

The thought made me happy but also underscored the passage of time. We were far from 19, and we both found love on native soil, and she became a mom, and I had to catch the train to Yekaterinburg before midnight.

After saying goodbye to Polina, it was time for the next segment of the Trans-Siberian Railway: A one-and-a-half-day ride to Yekaterinburg. I stocked up on ramen noodles and tea, and made my way to the train.

Riding the Trans-Siberian Railway is interesting for two reasons: The train itself, and the people on it. Life aboard the train doesn’t differ much from one segment to another, so I will write a separate article of observations and survival tips learned throughout the entire trip.

The people, however, did change with each segment. On this segment from Moscow to Yekaterinburg, as urban sprawl gave way to dense forests and wooden villages, I got to know a family from the Far North.

Tatiana, Nastia, and Sasha

My roommates for the 27-hour trip from Moscow to Yekaterinburg were Tatiana and her two children, Nastia and Sasha.

Within minutes of departure I took off my shoes to get comfortable and waited for the hallway activity to calm down before preparing for bed. Tatiana, somehow sensing my inexperience with long-distance train travel, pointed at the blue disposable slippers that came with the provided bedding and gently suggested I put them on. I thought they were silly and not for someone who’s used to rough traveling, so I responded that I’m alright in my socks. She tried to convince me a bit longer before giving up.

Moments later, I went to the bathroom—there’s one at each end of every car—and learned they’re just like airplane bathrooms: small and wet, and you don’t know from what . I returned to the cabin, changed my socks, and donned the blue disposable slippers. Tatiana looked on with approval.

They were traveling from their small military town near the Russia-Finland border (where her husband is stationed) to Novosibirsk — over 3,000 miles away — to visit her parents, as they do every summer. Airfare would cost them three months’ worth of income (by my own calculation), so they took the train, like many Russian families traveling to or from Siberia.

Our conversations spanned life in Russia, life in the US, Nastia’s college ambitions (she’s undecided between medicine and chemistry), traveling (because of the husband’s position in the military, the family is not allowed to travel outside of Russia), drawing, Russian literature, and more… We talked without end for two days while sharing food and drinking tea by the liter.

Tatiana teaches literature and Russian at their local school. She told me about life inside the arctic circle and showed me photos of polar lights, fields of flowers, her shirtless husband stepping out of a bania (a Russian sauna) and jumping into the snow, and other everyday scenes. She worried about what will happen after her husband’s military contract ends next year. She’ll miss Nastia when she stays behind in Novosibirsk for one final year of school and then university.

Tatiana also worried about my safety. She advised me to tell people I’m a local: “Your Russian is good enough,” she said, “that people will believe you and assume that your slight accent and slower pace is due to—” and she raised her fingers to her temple and did a twisting gesture. I nodded, thought for a moment, and decided that was a compliment.

Nastia is a straight-A student interested in chemistry and medicine. She’s not sure which of the two she’ll study in university, but she has another year to decide. She’ll stay with her grandparents in a small village outside of the city for another year until it’s time to attend Novosibirsk University. Although she studied english in school for several years, she never felt comfortable enough to speak it. (The faculty at their local school is made up of military spouses with little or no teaching experience.)

Nastia earns money on the side by painting custom designs on her clients’ nails. Her designs—from cartoon characters to landscapes to sunsets, all painted on half-inch-wide keratin canvases—are remarkable and belong in high-end nail salons of New York. I offered her some advice based on my consulting experience (she should charge more for more the elaborate designs). Her entrepreneurial spirit made me happy for her, maybe because it reminded me of my teenage years when I drew cartoons for money.

Sasha is just beginning to learn English, and this was his first encounter with a native speaker. He was nowhere near conversational English, so he engaged the only way he could: shouting out Russian words from his language workbook to see if I could respond with the right translation. “How do you say, um, ‘lion?’” he asked, and looked at me with a wide smile and alert eyes, waiting to hear a word that matched his notes. “Give Greg a break,” Tatiana said, more than once, after many animals were correctly translated, but I gave Sasha an approving smile to signal it’s alright. “Crocodile!?” he continued…

The next day, as the train approached Yekaterinburg in the early morning, I nudged Tatiana and Nastia awake to say “goodbye,” as they requested the night before, when we exchanged longer goodbyes and I told them how wonderful it was to meet and spend time with them. “Goodbye, Greg,” they replied, and both gave me a smile that I didn’t expect from anyone whose sleep was interrupted, who’s been on the road for weeks, who wouldn’t see her daughter (or mother) for a year, whose future was so uncertain… And still they smiled in the way that only good people do.
