This is a fantastic place to visit to see the beam engines working.
Please check the website to check when they are operating.
You can get really up close to them even when they are operating.

Went on the off chance and when I saw the car park empty I thought they might be closed but they were open!.. we had the place to ourselves and were given the most interesting guided tour by Dave.. Dave was passionate about this place and it really comes across.. He took the time to tell us the subtle differences between the two beams. This is the oldest working static steam powered beam engine in it's original housing in the world!!.. I felt lucky to be able to see it and hear an expert explaining it. Fantastic!

We wanted to visit on one of the steaming weekends, they hold a few a year. We booked online to ensure we had a slot to visit, although they do sell tickets on the gate. Plenty of parking and at the moment the parking meter has a cover on it & a sign saying it is included in the ticket cost. We had a very interesting morning here, lots of friendly volunteers explaining how everything works etc. there was a pop up cafe offering hot drinks & cans of drinks and some slices of cake, reasonably priced too. You can take a picnic if you want too as well.

Went to this site today (Bank Holiday), being one of the days it is in use.
Really pleased with the visit. Beam engine was in use, and surprised at how many enthusiastic volunteers they have.
There are also outside picnic tables overlooking the Kennet & Avon canal. Even though the beam engines were in use when sitting outside you can hardly hear them. Good tour route through the system as well. Well worth a visit, and very reasonable cost also, and the best kept toilets we have seen for ages. Well done volunteers and trustees!!

Site needs to advertise that the tunnel from the canal lock to the beam engine site is closed and locked and not in use. Update site content to reflect correct opening times (weekend only) and that site cafe is now closed.

We regularly walk to Crofton along the canal. Then enjoy a nice cup of tea and homemade cake sitting on the benches outside looking down on the boats moving about on the Kennet & Avon Canal below

Visited today Easter Sunday. Surprised to see on TA that’s it’s closed. It was open and working! If your interested in how clever our ancestors were this is the place to go. The sheer size of the engines and their complexity is mind blowing. The volunteer staff were excellent and knowledgeable. The displays were informative and clearly laid out. The technology timescale chart was excellent. It enabled one to appreciate how early this technology went back to and how early this pumping station was. The listing of technologies and events up to the present day put the whole thing into perspective. All in all an excellent visit to a fascinating piece of working history.

Dedicated staff and a very insightful experience for adults and teens alike. We spent about 1.5 hours there. They had a great Easter hunt trail. Plenty of parking opposite.

Visited with the Royal Enfield Owners Club South Wiltshire Branch.
Covid regulations were just being eased so it was not possible to steam up the engines, but still very impressive. Will return again when live steam is possible

Dogs are welcome in the grounds but only access dogs are allowed inside.

We visited you on a non-steaming day and my husband was enthralled. Can you tell me the difference between a steaming weekend and the gala steaming weekend, please? I'm sure he would enjoy that even more. I was surprised that you didn't address this question on your website because for visitors who have to travel long distances, it's quite a relevant question. Many thanks.

Many thanks for your question. Our steaming days feature the Beam Engines in full operation with members of our team stationed at several points to explain the machinery and history. There is a charge to see the engines, but the grounds and cafe entrance are free. The Steam Gala is an annual event which has the engines in steam but also additional entertainment and activities and there is a charge to enter the grounds on this occasion. We also open six days per week April-October when the engines are not in steam and on these occasions timed guided tours are offered - please see our website for further details.
