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.
