Lovely little spot - two large car parks (£3/4 h, cards accepted) - larger car park in on your right as you enter, not very obvious as there are no signposts. The area around the visitor centre is flat & accessible, albeit a little muddy after the rains - this is where you will find the 6 statues that make up the ‘Circle of Legends’. A short walk brings you to a set of (steep, but well kept) stairs that takes you for a walk along the river Wye - you can view Tintern Abbey during this walk. Toilets & cafe available, no dedicated blue badge parking spaces that we could see. Lovely spot to sit & listen to the birds.

A bit of a hidden gem, found it whilst looking at Google maps, somewhere to visit for coffee and cake after Tintern Abbey. Parking was £2 but its for the upkeep of the station. Original station and some tracks, some carriages and other signals and buildings, a park for the kids and a lovely walk close to the river. Stayed for coffee and ice creams for the kids, toilets clean, staff friendly, a very calming, peaceful place.

Stopped here on my way along the River Wye. Didn't stop long due to parking fees and not knowing which machine worked. Beautiful place, very tranquil. Lots of picnic beaches, cafe and toilets that were clean ( even though hand dryer didn't work)

Absolutely fantastic place loads of seating outside some inside. Very friendly helpful staff. Very nice menu coffee around two pounds.
Toilets are spotless also. Car Park two pounds card payment or cash. It is well worth a nice walk along the river or perhaps use the free zip wire and play equipment for children. We even had a low flying RAF transport aircraft above the tree tops.

Gorgeous setting. Spacious garden seating. Seating inside too. Shame about the car parking charges. Food was slow to arrive on our visit. Nice Freshly made breakfast sandwich and yummy iced coffee. Public Walk path in either direction. Dog friendly. Toilets at rear.

We chanced upon this by chance on our way to Tintern Abbey. What a delight. The setting is lovely, on the site of the old railway. The cafe is in the old station and the signal box is still there. The food is good, we had a huge egg sandwich for brunch. Service is great and staff were really friendly and helpful.

Love coming here lots for the kids to do then we do the walk. They have recently opened up the train again so you can go inside and have a look. The cafe is lovely 5*. Shame that the little train isn't run anymore I'd love to know why! My son begs to see it everytime.

Stopped here for lunch.
Lovely location with plenty to see. Sandwiches were tasty and the children's picnic bags were especially good value.
Thoroughly enjoyable place to visit
