Launceston Steam Railway?
Long time since I was there - I think it was called the Lappa Valley Railway back then

The Launceston Steam Railway and Lappa Valley are completely separate entities - but sadly neither depicted here.

Correct! This is at the furthest extent of the 'north' loop where there are a couple of short lengths of track that appear to go nowhere!
Also, it is half price entry all of the 2025 Summer Season - not just on that one day.
I visited with my wife, daughter, son and granddaughter. Although we live not 20 miles from Beer, I hadn't visited the attraction since my son was the same age as his own daughter is now. The layout of the miniature railway is much changed in those intervening years!

Spent half a day there last summer'ish.
Allegedly for 4 year old grandson (but mainly me).
Staff were wonderful, weather was good.
We really enjoyed it there, and lovely gardens to boot.

I have vague recollections of visiting Pecorama in my childhood which was a very long time ago. Must visit there again someday combining it with a trip on the Seaton Tramway which I absolutely love.
Again childhood memories of staying at the caravan park at Colyford and hearing the hum of the trams going past in the evenings.

Pecorama Public Statement: November 2025
It is with great sadness and after much soul-searching we have decided to close Pecorama, our well-loved family attraction, for the 2026 season. Despite Pecorama having had a busy year of trading involving its 50 th anniversary of the Beer Heights Railway and concluding this past half term week with rewarding Halloween events, the business continues to make a loss.

Very sad
