Lovely afternoon shooting for the next ‘Steam on the Moor’ film with our volunteers who came from far and wide for the January work weekend. As well as readying Woody Bay for the upcoming season, this weekend has all been about laying brand new rail. #devon #exmoor #narrowgauge #heritagetailway

It’s Thursday so as is tradition in some quarters we thought we’d give you a throwback. This is the lovely live-action puppet based children’s series ‘The Sound Collector’ which came to Woody Bay a few years ago. It’s absolutely charming!
