Timeline
10:00
Arrive at the Railway Coastal Museum right when it opens. The 1903 Riverhead Railway Station houses dioramas of passenger car interiors and exhibits on rail and coastal shipping. The quiet morning light makes the dismantled car bodies and the locomotive outside particularly atmospheric.
11:00
Walk to The Celtic Hearth for a late lunch or a substantial snack. This 24/7 traditional Irish pub and restaurant is just a short stroll away, offering a warm, hearty meal to continue your afternoon.
11:30
Stroll through Victoria Park, a Victorian-era urban park with street frontage on Water Street. It is a peaceful green space just minutes from the museum and pub, perfect for a final stretch of your walk before heading home.
Local tip
The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays from October to mid-June, so check the opening hours before you go. The Celtic Hearth is open 24/7, so you have flexibility with your meal timing.
