Luscombe Valley Steam

Luscombe Valley Steam Collection in Poole, Dorset represents a lifetime’s dedication to steam, lovingly and meticulously assembled by Richard Knott. It comprises a five inch gauge, ground-level, passenger-carrying railway, a traction engine, a steam lorry, a full-sized steam car and a 26 ft steam launch, just to mention a few of the attractions.

The collection is based in the grounds of Richard Knott's home, which is open to the public four times a year and regularly brings in the crowds. It raises money for charity at the same time as giving pleasure to both enthusiasts and the general public.

On Open Days {see Events Page} each visitor is welcome to ride on the railway as many times as they would like to. It’s got a reputation for being pretty addictive. Everyone is also encouraged to view the other steam exhibits during their stay.

But that’s not all.

Moving indoors, there is an extensive “OO” model railway layout, based on the Somerset and Dorset line. This is always on view during open days and the sheer detail will probably take your breath away.

"Grateful thanks to all those who supported Luscombe Valley during 2011, especially those 831 who attended our Humbug Day on Christmas Eve and helped to raise just under £2,500.00 in one single day! This has mean't that we can hand over a very useful cheque for £8,500.00 to our chosen charity 'Youth Cancer Trust''. Thank you once again."

Go to our Luscombe Valley Steam Events page for details of Open Days.

In 2012 we are once again going to raise monies for PCaSO who are a local charity that supports men who have been touched by Prostate Cancer. Please continue to visit us during 2012 to help create funds for this most worthy cause.
