Great little museum, lots to see in a fairly small space. Just adds to the tenterden station experience. Plenty of parking and very close to the town center.
Free to enter but please leave a donation.

A very informative museum, in a space that doesn't overwhelm you with too much. Great museum!

An amazingly interesting museum. Set out in a very intuitive way. Very well thought out with brilliant exhibits. And it's free😃 just remember to leave a donation so this wonderful museum can continue to educate and entertain

Fascinating museum, if you're interested in railway history. The displays are very well laid out and some are interactive.

Such a lovely museum! The gentleman at the desk was really helpful, informative and lovely!
It's free entry, but they have a donation box when you exit the museum and there's another donation box near the train, as seen on the picture, to maintain the locomotives.
Tenterden Town station is literally next to this museum, where you can see the steam locomotives or if you're taking the train from there to Bodiam.
Check out the Kent & East Sussex Railway for timetables and tickets. ❤️

Interesting small museum with information on old signage and signals. The place was empty and there is a second hand gift shop at the entrance. Worth a visit and 30 minutes is enough

An absolute gem of a museum. I've passed here many times but never been in. Finally took the plunge and found it a really well planned out, displayed and thorough museum.
The man on the desk was really friendly and knowledgeable as well.
Will certainly be returning in the future.

A great museum covering the history of the railway building if Colonel Stephens. There's a large amount of information about the various railways he helped to build around the country, including the Kent & East Sussex Railway. There are a few model trains and displays showing various trains and layouts of stations, including a life size steam engine at the end. There's also a mini shop selling a wide range of books and models. Free parking at the station car park nearby for visitors

Free museum located beside the Kent and East Sussex Railway at Tenterden. Range of railway memorabilia not just from the local area but across the UK. Worth a look if in the area.
