The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway is a volunteer operated heritage railway in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire offering a round trip of 28 miles. It uses part of the route of the former Great Western Railway's main line from Birmingham to Cheltenham which used to run via Stratford-upon-Avon.
It now operates steam and heritage diesel trains between Cheltenham Racecourse and Broadway through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Cotswolds. The line commands wonderful views of the nearby sleepy hamlets and villages, with outstanding outlooks across to the Malvern Hills and beyond.
We have a number of fantastic events throughout the year. Check out what's coming up soon.
On Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th June we are delighted to once again team up with our friends from the North Cotswold branch of CAMRA to bring you the 21st Ale & Steam event.
The sound of a 1750hp English Electric 12CSVT diesel engine rumbling through Greet Tunnel is hard to beat, especially when there’s two of them!
The sound of a 2,580 bhp Sulzer 12LDA28-C diesel engine rumbling through Greet Tunnel is hard to beat, especially when there’s two of them!
For the past 5 years we have been awarded the Tripadvisor® Certificate of Excellence and we are currently the number two attraction in Cheltenham as well as being in the top ten attractions in the whole of the Cotswolds.
There is always a lot happening at the GWSR. Check what's been happening and all the latest updates from our team.
