Tintern Old Station is a heritage visitor centre in Monmouthshire, Wales, set in restored railway carriages that tell the story of local history, alongside an N-gauge model railway, indoor children's play space and a video presentation on the Wye Valley Railway. Outside, you can stroll a circular walking route through meadows and along the river, let children loose in the outdoor play area, or take a ride on the miniature railway. It's a relaxed, family-friendly spot, dog-friendly too, with a tearoom serving local food and drink. The nearest station is Chepstow, 4.3 miles away, and with 37 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it makes an easy addition to a longer break in the area.
