Delightful Somerset Railway Cream Tea

Hop aboard the iconic Mendip Belle and prepare for an unforgettable journey. As you glide through the enchanting Mendip Hills, you’ll be treated to a luxurious cream tea that’s truly a feast for the senses. Imagine the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked scones as they’re served warm, just waiting for a generous topping of rich clotted cream and fruity jam. Each bite will make you feel as if you’re indulging in a cherished tradition.

But this experience is more than just delicious treats. The scenery unfolding outside your window is nothing short of breathtaking. As the train chugs along the East Somerset Railway line, you'll be captivated by rolling hills and lush landscapes that seem to stretch on forever. It's a perfect blend of tradition and nature, creating a serene atmosphere to relax and enjoy.
