Crofton Beam Engines 3.95

Situated in the Wiltshire countryside 6 miles from the picturesque market town of Marlborough, this Grade 1 listed building houses two magnificent Cornish beam engines, one of which (the 1812 Boulton and Watt) is the oldest working beam engine in the world still in its original engine house and capable of actually doing the job for which it was installed.

The fantastic Engineman's Rest Cafe is a splendid place to enjoy light lunches, home made cakes, and ice creams, alongside a selection of canal souvenirs in the shop.
