Lots of people come and visit us for the trains, but the cottage is also in a great area for walking and cycling. Why not come and check out this newly established route around the beautiful Marches on the England/Wales border

A 290km off-road adventure filled with stunning beauty and rich history of the English-Welsh border

I was hoping to give you another video with the sound of a spectacular rumbling diesel passing through Bucknell. But I recorded the video while I was on a Teams call, so the beautiful train sound was mixed with my colleague talking. So here's the video, sadly without sound.

If you are in the very small group of people whose special interests are vintage diesel trains and the impact of micro plastics in sewage, send me a DM. I've got your dream video.

Golden moors, bronze mountains and reddening forests are among the highlights of these trips, from the Highlands to the Cotswolds

There's a special heading down the line towards Llanelli, made a good rumble as it chugged past the cottage. Check out the video on the next post for a bit of audio

Stuart dropped in with us for a quick drink and bite to eat on his long walk to raise money for the Samaritans. Please support him if you can, it's a great and very important cause

We're normally quite proud of our photography, but when a train comes through at very short notice, we just have to do our best.
I'm told this is a Class 20 and it was pulling a passenger carriage. Maybe somebody having their own personal tour of the very beautiful Heart of Wales Line

A lovely walk, and only a couple of stops from Bucknell.

We had a rare visit from this big beast today. The passenger trains come through quietly, but this one has a roar.

A few shots of today's special visitor to little old Bucknell Station. Steam trains are a rare treat on the line but we love it when they do arrive.

The rumours of a steam train coming through Bucknell on Saturday 20th April seem to be true https://www.railwaytouring.net/the-great-britain-xvi---april-2024. The cottage is available, so if you fancy a couple of nights holiday and a ringside seat drop us a message or email [email protected]

Well, we know Shropshire's lovely, but it's still exciting to have it appear in a list of top 10 destinations worldwide. Just a shame they forgot to include Station Cottage in their list of the counties highlights...

The "rural gem" is featured alongside a region in Spain, Saxony in Germany, Vietnam and Zambia.

Maintenance on the line means no passenger trains this week, but we're still seeing some interesting traffic.

The cottage at Bucknell Station is currently available last week of October, get in touch if you fancy a half term holiday with us. www.stationcottagebucknell.co.uk
