If you haven't paid a visit to Okehampton Station yet, then you jolly well should !It's a lovely old fashioned station which was restored to
 it's former glory in 1997.Stepping off the footbridge takes you back in time, and the best thing of all is that you can take a ride
 on a steam train. Trains run several times a week all year.Have a look at the station timetable and get yourself there for a real treat.




The brilliant Granite Way Cycle track runs from Okehampton Station to Lydford. It's a fantastic traffic-free route for kids and
grown ups alike, with wild flowers, bird song and stunning views way into Cornwall.
