Heatherslaw is home to the most northerly steam train in England, Heatherslaw Light Railway. This 15" gauge railway with steam locomotives "Bunty" and “Lady Augusta” travels along the banks of the River Till between Heatherslaw Station and Etal Castle, a return journey of 6.4km. A choice of fully enclosed or partly glazed coaches ensures you'll remain dry, even on the wettest days! At Heatherslaw Station there’s a model railway room and a small gift shop, as well as an antique Fowler traction engine caravan displaying work by Imogen Louise Design. Heatherslaw Cornmill lies a short walk over the bridge. This fascinating, fully restored and working 19th century watermill makes a range of flours using traditional methods and is open to the public to explore. With many activities for children and an affordable admission charge this is a ‘must see’. In addition there is a Visitor Centre, Tearoom, Papercut Artist and Jeweller.

Centred round the charming villages of Ford & Etal & nestled in the furthermost corner of north Northumberland, this large country estate is home to a range of attractions, outdoor adventure & traditional tearooms. One of the main attractions is Heatherslaw Light Railway-the most northerly steam railway in England. The 15" gauge railway pulled by steam locomotive "Bunty" travels along the banks of the River Till between Heatherslaw Station and Etal Castle, a return journey of 6.4km. A choice of fully enclosed or partly glazed coaches ensures you'll remain dry, even on the wettest days! A really lovely way to spend the day especially for kids.
