The railway operates 7¼ inch scale model locomotives and runs most weekends during the summer. Bentley Miniature Railway offers rides only to Bentley visitors and is subject to a fee of just £2 per person per trip. Bentley, located just 5 miles south of Uckfield, the railway offers views of, what could be considered, the centrepiece of Bentley, the Raymond Erith's Palladian inspired House which remained home to Mary Askew up until her death in November 2008. This includes the formal gardens by Jim Russell which have been developed with the Askew's vision since 1937 to their current standard.
