Railton also features Seven Sheds Brewery, Meadery and Hop Garden, the Looking Glass fibre optics shops and Railton Arts & Crafts which features local crafters’ work. On the edge of town is the mystical Sykes Sanctuary – which features strange monuments with mathematical equations in a serene nature sanctuary.
