Bressingham Steam and Gardens

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Bressingham Steam Museum and Garden is the brainchild of gardener Allan Bloom, who created an unusual combination of historic railway and horticultural delight. There are five miles of narrow gauge railway track - and four different gauge tracks - at Bressingham, as well as the official 'Dad's Army' exhibition.

There are over 40 steam locomotives at Bressingham, including steam locomotives, plus traction and stationary engines. There are several garden areas, including a winter garden, summer garden, and the area known as Foggy Bottom. In addition, there is a Fragrant Garden, with plants especially selected for their pleasing scent, plus a dell garden and woodland garden. Attached to the site is the popular Bressingham Garden Centre, which offers garden supplies. The Dad's Army exhibit features objects used in the production of the popular TV series, and memorabilia associated with the show.
