"According to Time Out (we're biased, but we think we give the best advice), the best day trip from London this winter is the charming Kent and East Sussex Railway, a whimsical steam train route which runs from the picture-perfect Tenterden to the small village of Bodiam. We know what you're thinking - I commute via train in London every day, what's so special about this one? Well, this old-fashioned steam train chugs through the green countryside of the Garden of England."
"During the 30-minute journey you'll trundle past farmland (including a massive former Guinness hop farm), quaint cottages, pretty gardens, and historical sites like Bodiam Castle. Once your ride is complete you can explore the National Trust-owned castle; a 14th-century moated structure that is is one of Britain's most picturesque and romantic ancient monuments. Do make sure to plan ahead, because trains from Tenterden only run on select dates during the winter months."
The recommended winter day trip from London is the Kent and East Sussex Railway, a steam train that runs between Tenterden and the village of Bodiam. The 30-minute journey passes farmland, including a former Guinness hop farm, quaint cottages, pretty gardens, and views of Bodiam Castle. Passengers travel in upholstered carriages of an old-fashioned steam locomotive and experience the smell of burning coal. After the ride, visitors can explore Bodiam Castle, a 14th-century moated National Trust-owned site noted for its picturesque, romantic appearance. Trains operate on select winter dates, so planning and checking departures is necessary, with travel options via train-and-bus or about two hours by car.
