July 19 Meet at The Fairwood Valley Light Railway

by

Our July meeting was attended by 14 members of the group, who took a trip through the spectacular garden in which the Fairwood Valley Light Railway is set. A delightful line with some spectacular feats of civil engineering!

  1. Now that line has got my heart jumping a lot more. I love it. Seems like I am going to have to get into Anne’s head with a move to Mid Wales. What with this one and Peter Butler’s …LOL.
