đ Ferrymead, Canterbury
Working heritage tramway at Ferrymead with restored steam, horse-drawn and electric trams that visitors actually ride. Run by knowledgeable volunteers who restore and maintain the collection themselves.

đ Family Action Verdict
A genuine working tramway where children ride historic steam and electric vehicles rather than observe them behind glass. The volunteer guides know every bolt and rivet, and their enthusiasm is contagious.
