The Experience

Ready to embark on an adventure that will whisk you back in time? This enchanting steam train experience through the picturesque Chiltern Hills is the perfect gift idea for anyone seeking a unique day out! Departing from the quaint Chinnor Station, this captivating 60-minute journey takes you on a seven-and-a-half-mile round trip to the charming Princes Risborough and back.

As the steam engine chugs along, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of rolling countryside and lush farmland, immersing you in the natural beauty of the Chiltern Hills. Feel the nostalgia wash over you as you bask in the timeless charm of steam travel, where each puff of steam evokes memories of a bygone era.

This delightful experience also includes a sparkling cream tea, perfect for indulging your taste buds. Savour warm scones, generously spread with luscious strawberry jam and rich clotted cream, while you sip on a glass of sparkling wine or a traditional cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee. What better way to celebrate the moment than with delicious treats in such a stunning setting?

Keep your eyes peeled for the historic Whiteleaf Cross, a fascinating landmark etched into the chalk hillside. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this impressive sight serves as a historic marker along the old salt route from Droitwich to London, adding a touch of history to your scenic journey.
