Brilliant for a family day out. Nice walks in the surrounding areas and a lovely big park (Roberts Park) across the road. The tram is full of history which you can read about. The staff that run the tramway are lovely.
Shame it only runs at weekends. They need more volunteers.
Great attraction for little kids. The ride it's self only takes around 3-5 mins but kids go free and adults was £1.50 single or £2.50 for day rider at time of posting. The car park is at this station at the Southern end. Also tickets sold here, but you can get on at the top and then pay when you get off at bottom.
Great. But it wasn't open.But it's really lovely.
Great little trip & nice walk at the top
