The Main Event
Embark on a captivating journey through the picturesque Chiltern Hills aboard our enchanting steam train experience.
This 90-minute adventure will transport you to an era of nostalgia, as you bask in the timeless charm of steam travel. Departing from the quaint Chinnor Station, you'll be treated to a seven and a half mile round trip that will take you to the charming Princes Risborough and back. Along the way, you'll be mesmerised by breathtaking views of rolling countryside and lush farmland, immersing you in the natural beauty of the Chiltern Hills.
As you revel in the soothing rhythms of the steam train, indulge in a delectable traditional afternoon tea, featuring warm scones accompanied by luscious strawberry jam and rich clotted cream. To complete this delightful experience, sip on a cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee, adding the perfect touch to your nostalgic journey. As you savour your cream tea, don't forget to keep an eye out for the historic Whiteleaf Cross, a fascinating landmark etched into the chalk hillside. Its origins trace back to the Middle Ages or possibly even earlier, serving as a historic marker for the old salt route from Droitwich to London.
Whether you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, celebrate a special occasion, or surprise a loved one with a memorable gift, this steam train adventure through the Chiltern Hills is the perfect choice.

Who Can Go
- Accessibility at Chinnor Station: Level access suitable for wheelchairs is available via the old Station Approach road, and utilising a side-gate to the platform. Whilst parking is not generally allowed on this privately-owned road, passengers can be dropped off at the side-gate and then retrace your route and park up in the main station car park (and similarly return via the same route at the end of your visit). Access to the old Station Approach road is gained by turning right into the road on the Chinnor village side of the railway bridge and then along the front of the dental surgery. Please drive slowly, keeping a good lookout for children who often play in the area.
- Toilet facilities for disabled visitors are available at Chinnor station.
- No toilets with disabled access are available on the train and this is due to the age and historic construction of the coaches.
- If you are in a wheelchair but you can step aboard and move to a seat (via the narrow connecting doors of our heritage vehicles), then your wheelchair can be left on the platform at Chinnor under the watchful eyes of the Volunteer station staff.
- Wheelchair space is not available in the Train Restaurant.
- The Station Cafe at Chinnor Station serves drinks and snacks. Most steam hauled trains offer a trolley service of tea, coffee and snacks during the journey.
- Only Assistance / Guide dogs are allowed in the Train Restaurant.
