Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre dates back to 1846 when it was built as one of the railway stations along the Marston Vale Line. It is now home to a tea room, museum and gift shop, with an operational rail line.
The vintage tearoom provides the perfect place to stop and enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake. For those who feel a bit hungrier there is also a menu available which includes sandwiches and light lunches. Breakfast is also available.
You can enjoy food in our garden or in the Ladies Waiting Room.
