Find Us
Ashton Court Estate has several entrances, but the railway can only be accessed by car via the Clifton Lodge Gatehouse on the A369 (Portishead–Bristol road).
Please note there is no right turn into the estate from the A369 when approaching from the M5.
For SatNav users, entering “Ashton Court Golf Course car park” will direct you to the entrance for the railway.
About Ashton Court Railway
Since opening in 1973, the railway has been carefully developed by BSMEE into what you see today – a scaled-down representation of how railways once operated, especially during the steam era.
