What’s there:
Large Car-Park
Come and visit the oldest working steam engines in the world still performing the
job they were built to do! The engines and café are open every day from 9 March
to 6 October, 2013, with a number of special steaming weekends.There are two beam
engines, one of which is an original 200-year-old Boulton & Watt. Both are fed by
a hand-stoked, coal-fired Lancashire boiler. These are magnificent pieces of industrial
archaeology appealing both to families and steam enthusiasts. Linger in our distinguished
Engineman’s Rest Café and gift shop or treat yourself to a picnic in the grounds
overlooking the Kennet & Avon Canal.The engine house is set in unspoiled Wiltshire
countryside close to the old market town of Marlborough. Click here for opening
