The Sunset Steam Express

DEPARTS:

London Paddington

Our popular Sunset Steam Express tour comes to Paddington! Enjoy a nostalgic steam train trip through the Chiltern Hills, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Soak up the stunning views as we head out through the suburbs of London before beginning our steep climb through the Chilterns as the sun sets. A landscape of remarkable beauty and character, these rolling chalk hills are steeped in history, from ancient woodland to Iron Age hillforts and Elizabethan mansions.

Bask in the sun-kissed beauty of these glorious surroundings whilst indulging in a harmonious blend of the finest Champagne and fine dining, before returning to London via the Thames Valley.
