We had a lovely time visiting rocks by rail on the bank holiday open day as well as the driver for a fiver event. Everywhere is well kept and clean, plenty of knowledgable and friendly volunteers about to talk to, lovely food in the cafe.
Driver for a fiver was well worth it, £5 to have a go at driving a diesel train, we enjoyed it as adults! Will deffo recommend and be visiting again.

This was my first visit from Doncaster & found the site well signposted on the main roads, sign for the car park ok which is good, got to the entrance in the café & greeted with a nice friendly gent, then had a nice bacon roll & a tea which reasonably priced, they even had some home made cakes too which was a nice touch, was given a little talk about where & what to see on the site. Steam train with brake van rides was doing frequent trips along the line, went round all the buildings which all displays were well kept & inside all nice & clean.
Went down the nature trail & all was nice & tidy & grass was well maintained.
All the staff i met where very friendly & great to talk to & answered any questions.

Place was deserted - truly deserted. Not a soul to be seen at the reception so we wandered round on our own looking at old trains outside which were so unkempt that brambles were growing on them. We went into some kind of workshop - nobody there, no information on display to explain what was happening. Back outside, still not having seen a soul, we saw a sign for a nature trail but found it to be cordoned off. In confusion we headed back to the buildings, only for a spaniel to charge at us which then attacked my dog. At this point an elderly chap appeared - not sure if he was staff or a visitor- he mumbled something then sauntered off with the dog. We made a sharp exit.
If you fancy a mix of 28 Days Later and Cujo, we’ll worth a visit.

Although I live quite near I had never heard of this fantastic little gem. From the moment my wife, my niece and I got out of the car we were greeted by a very knowledgeable friendly member. My niece is qualified quarry and mining engineer from Brazil here to learn English. She was absolutely fascinated by the establishment. Her delight was enhanced by the experience of driving a train as well as all the exhibits in the covered area.
We enjoyed our day so much we shall visit again on the last open day for the year on 20th October 2019. 3 days before she returns home.
Great experience for all ages. Thank you.

This is real live history in the form of locomotives, wagons, tools and quarrying plant, but also in the form of friendly volunteers, many of them with experience in quarries and railways. I arrived on a quiet day when there was no running advertised, but still saw diesel and steam locomotives moving round the yard and one of their quarrying machines in action - all in preparation for the Bank Holiday weekend. You can get close to everything and there is lots of information available. This is an enthusiast's paradise. For families, I'd recommend one of the running days for guaranteed action.

Arrived and greeted by a volunteer in the car park. Bacon sarnies a treat. Entrance fee very reasonable.Exhibits in main shed and side shed in various stages of preservation.
One steam loco giving frequent brake van rides and 2 diesel at play shunting into the quarry area.
The mega size drag line cab shocks you into realizing the scale of quarrying on the site.
Well worth a couple of hours on a steam day.

Run completely by volunteers this small railway and musuem is a gem. They have a collection of steam and diesel locomotives, some restored and working, and others in the process of being restored. You can take a ride in a brake van attached to one of the trains and you can see a demo of what used to go on here regarding ironstone, with a shovel pretending to fill railway wagons with ironstone. You can also take a walk alongside the line and get a view of more old rolling stock and see the trains chugging up & down.
Friendly volunteers are more than happy to explain what's going on and there's a cafe for tea and cake. Great value at only £8 (£7 concessions) especially as you can ride the train as many times as you want.

This museum is amazing with lots of livestock in the process of renovation. The staff were very friendly and informative. The drive a train for £5 wasn’t taking place on the day we visited but the August bank holiday Sunday/Monday will have steam and diesel trains running so might be tempted to come back.

This was a walk down memory lane for my husband as he had watched Sundew's great walk as a young lad. Don't expect great shining engines, do expect enthused volunteers who are happy to chat about the work they do and the great engines they care for

Day trip out. It was a lovely day and the weather was on our side. The large collection of trains was entertaining for the kids to look around while granddad enjoyed learning about the history of the area.

Looking after grandchildren, aged 6 and 4. Would they be old enough to enjoy the upcoming bank holiday events?

There isn't really enough to entertain young children. The site consists mainly of independent craft stalls, with a few workshops. It's really geared towards adults.
