About Stogumber Station

Stogumber Station is nestled beneath the Quantock Hills, just over a mile from the centre of the very pretty village of Stogumber.  An hour from Minehead along the West Somerset Railway, it is the ideal place to begin your journey to experience the old-fashioned charm and spirit of the English countryside.

Stogumber Station boasts a tea garden, toilets and a small shop serving hot and cold refreshments with souvenirs available to purchase.  There is a small car park for people wishing to drive to the station.  It is a 20-minute brisk walk to the village where you will find the village shop – Central Stores, and the friendly country pub The White Horse Inn.

Regular visitors to our station include train enthusiasts, photographers, WSR customers, visitors to Stogumber village, walkers, cyclists, groups, schools and pre-bookings as well as an annual visit by participants in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme.

Volunteer with us!

We are always looking to welcome volunteers to our friendly family at Stogumber Station. If you have some free time and would like to do something really rewarding then do consider joining us as a volunteer.

You don't need to have an interest in railways, although this is always useful. If you enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, like to have a friendly chat and have a sunny and cheerful smile on hand for everyone you meet, then we would welcome you with open arms.

If you have been to our station you will know that all the staff are very friendly and approachable and we really ARE one big happy family. 

Stogumber Station is run by volunteers who run the station, issue tickets, serve food and ensure the safe travel of passengers on and off the trains.  There are many ways in which you can get involved and we are always looking for new helpers.


To qualify as a volunteer you need to enjoy working with the public and be flexible to assist us when needed. Volunteers benefit from free travel on the West Somerset Railway outside of gala periods and special events. To qualify for free travel, you will have to complete 12 duties per year.
