Old Station, Tintern

The Old Station has developed an excellent reputation as one of the area’s top visitor centres, with our recently refurbished railway carriages offering a host of local information and history, as well as an N-gauge model railway, an indoor children’s play area and a video presentation of the history of the Wye Valley Railway and the Circle of Legends.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the circular walking route through the beautiful meadows and along the river, enjoying stunning views of the Wye Valley. We are a dog friendly site and welcome dogs in the Tearooms as well as in our picnic area. We politely ask that all dogs are kept on a lead and that you clean up after your dog.

Entry to the Old Station, Tintern is free, but we do ask for a parking fee which comes back to the site for essential maintenance and upgrading.

The Old Station Tearoom

The Old Station Tearoom is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 10am until 4pm.  Serving delicious locally sourced food and drink, our breakfast menu is available from 10am – 12pm offering freshly cooked bacon, egg and mushroom sandwiches.

Our lunch menu is available from 12– 3pm offering jacket potatoes, paninis and sandwiches with a wide variety of fillings. You can also enjoy our selection of cakes and sweet treats from Isabel’s Bakehouse and relax with a freshly ground coffee from the Welsh Coffee Co. We have a children’s lunch bag, with sandwich, drink and two snacks and even a doggy menu.

We also have a small gift shop located in the Tearooms selling local products.
