COUNTRYSIDE CENTRE

& RAILWAY MUSEUM

There is just so much to see and do, it won’t all fit on one page, so click on the pictures below for more detail.

The Countryside Centre has been established to provide an opportunity for a wide variety of craftsmen and women to demonstrate and talk about traditional local crafts.

Please note that not all of our craftsmen and women can always be at the Centre, but it is always possible to purchase examples of their work.
