Long time since I was there - I think it was called the Lappa Valley Railway back then Title: Re: Where was PhilW - 05/08/25 Post by: PhilWakely on August 06, 2025, 09:52:54 Launceston Steam Railway? Long time since I was there - I think it was called the Lappa Valley Railway back then The Launceston Steam Railway and Lappa Valley are completely separate entities - but sadly neither depicted here.

This is at the furthest extent of the 'north' loop where there are a couple of short lengths of track that appear to go nowhere! Also, it is half price entry all of the 2025 Summer Season - not just on that one day. I visited with my wife, daughter, son and granddaughter. Although we live not 20 miles from Beer, I hadn't visited the attraction since my son was the same age as his own daughter is now. The layout of the miniature railway is much changed in those intervening years! Title: Re: Where was PhilW - 05/08/25 Post by: GBM on August 06, 2025, 12:02:32 Spent half a day there last summer'ish.
Allegedly for 4 year old grandson (but mainly me). Staff were wonderful, weather was good. We really enjoyed it there, and lovely gardens to boot. Title: Re: Where was PhilW - 05/08/25 Post by: Timmer on August 06, 2025, 21:45:06 I have vague recollections of visiting Pecorama in my childhood which was a very long time ago. Must visit there again someday combining it with a trip on the Seaton Tramway which I absolutely love.
Again childhood memories of staying at the caravan park at Colyford and hearing the hum of the trams going past in the evenings. Title: Re: Where was PhilW - 05/08/25 Post by: grahame on November 14, 2025, 17:16:42 https://www.pecorama.co.uk/ (https://www.pecorama.co.uk/)
Quote Pecorama Public Statement: November 2025 It is with great sadness and after much soul-searching we have decided to close Pecorama, our well-loved family attraction, for the 2026 season. Despite Pecorama having had a busy year of trading involving its 50 th anniversary of the Beer Heights Railway and concluding this past half term week with rewarding Halloween events, the business continues to make a loss.
