Established in 1989 by railway enthusiasts Neville Smith and Sid Ford, it holds the distinction of being the most northerly steam railway in all of England. The railway boasts a scenic 4-mile (6.4 km) return trip, transporting passengers between Heatherslaw Station and the historic Etal Castle. The route meanders through the picturesque Northumberland countryside, offering breathtaking views along the banks of the River Till. Passenger trains operate seven days a week during the peak season, typically spanning from March to October. Departures from Heatherslaw Station occur on the hour, with the first train setting off at 11:00 AM. Return journeys conveniently run on the half-hour from Etal Castle. The railway utilizes a charming fleet of steam locomotives like "Bunty" and "Lady Augusta" to pull the passenger carriages. Occasionally, a diesel engine named "Binky" may also be used for operations. The Heatherslaw Light Railway offers both fully enclosed and partly glazed carriages, ensuring passenger comfort regardless of the weather conditions. While wheelchair access is available for some carriages, advanced reservations are highly recommended.

The swans were happy to come swimming up to me. Some children were about one metre away from a pack of swans as they walked past, but everything seemed safe

There is a cafe and farm shop as you look over to the buildings, behind them seemed to be a childrens play area. There are signs saying residents only can drive through the Hirsel Estate, but cars were seen driving through. Parking seemed to exist within the area of the buildings

The Hirsel Estate in Coldstream is a well kept estate with various features in place. Open spaces with oak trees, a large lake where swans swim or walk up to you looking for food. There are park benches next to the lake and a good spot to stop for a break
