History

Devon Railway Centre is primarily the work of the Gicquel family with help from a small but dedicated group of volunteers. The photo reflects the site in 1997 when the Devon Railway Centre took over the site.

A huge amount of work has been needed to change the site into what you see today. The buildings have been lovingly restored, two lines of track have been laid, coaches restored to house the model railways, and the whole site has been landscaped - come and see for yourselves!

Bickleigh Station was built in 1885 by the South Devon Railway to serve the local community. The line closed in 1963 and the station was boarded up.

In 1997 we began the restoration. Many panes of broken glass were replaced and the roof and ceiling repaired. The station today once again stands proudly and houses our tea rooms. Enjoy a cuppa with us!

Remember - pay once, ride all day!
