Driving Creek Railway

About

A one hour round trip on a narrow-gauge mountain railway - featuring superb views, magnificent engineering, unique art and replanted native forest.

Story

Barry Brickell (artist, engineer and conservationist) took 35 years to build this amazing switch-back railway. Railcars climb the mountain to the 'Eyeful Tower' with magnificent views over Coromandel town, the harbour and across to Auckland in the distance. The one hour return journey incorporates superb engineering and unique art features in a replanted forest setting.
Back at the station watch the dvd about Barry and the railway. Enjoy a walk in the sculpture garden followed by a bush walk in the NZ wildlife sanctuary.
Pottery, souvenirs, mini-bricks, the dvd and books are available in our craft shop.
Peruse the Art Gallery next door exhibiting pieces from Barry Brickell's personal art collection. (by donation)

Love the tour. Tour guide is so friendly and keep us safe by his reminders at all times. Views and history is magnificent.
Have been many times over the years, first came as a teenager with my parents and now go back most years with my own children. My first grandchild has now also enjoyed this experience and I'm sure we will return for many years to come.
Stayed at Lush, great spot and hospitality. Train was quaint, interesting and fun. Zipline for a 75 year old was brilliant. All staff amazing, one of our best away weekends yet. I & J
Fun, sustainable, educational. Great driver - Wendi, and great fun commentary. Very interesting pottery. Great legacy from Barry Brickall.
Wife and I absolutely enjoyed our experience. Awesome tour guide Mike, who was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We will be back.
Zipline was absolutely amazing! Great family activity. Our tour guides were awesome!
