The incredible steam train offering sparkling afternoon tea and cakes

Throughout winter people prefer day drip options that are inside, where they can enjoy nature but not necessarily have to endure freezing temperatures.

One very popular option is East Somerset Railway Company in the village of Cranmore, near Shepton Mallet. Passengers are transported back in time as you sip your champagne and delight in the old steam engines, and you can revel in the stunning vistas without having to wrap up warm.

The afternoon tea includes quaint finger sandwiches, homemade cakes and fancies and sparkling champagne. You will feel like a character out of an Agatha Christie movie as you move back in time to enjoy this beautiful, leisurely ride aboard a steam train.
