Bridgend Miniature Railway is a small-scale theme park attraction set in over four acres of woodland adjacent to the Parc Slip nature reserve in Llangynwyd Lower, Bridgend, Somerset (BRITSTAYS:place, BRITSTAYS:category). On open days, run by the BDMES, you can enjoy rides on the miniature trains and bring a picnic to make a day of it, with something to appeal to all ages. There's no entry fee or parking charge, though open days depend on weather and member availability, so it's worth checking their Facebook page beforehand. It suits families looking for a relaxed, low-cost outing. Tondu station is just 0.8 miles away (BRITSTAYS:station), and with 26 bookable places to stay within five miles (BRITSTAYS:stays), it's easy to combine with a short break nearby.
