A lovely guided train ride to the Eyefull Tower to get a view of the beautiful scenery, whilst catching glimpses of magnificent pottery along the way and being told a story of a unique individual, Barry Brickell, who built a railway and created hand-crafted pottery.

This is a must do tour!!! This railway trip was an amazing experience travelling back into the history of artist Barry’s passion and engineering genius. The views were amazing and our guide shared so many interesting facts.
