Description
Head out on one of the oldest narrow-gauge railways in England for a scenic 14 mile return journey through the beautiful Eskdale Valley along the foothills of some of England’s highest mountains, travelling in style on the finest coach they have with this Eskdale Belle Carriage & Steam Train Experience with pre journey breakfast bap and tea or coffee on arrival at the Ravenglass station café with lunch for two with wine at the end station.
Having just celebrated its 102nd birthday as a 15in railway, the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway has a whole heap of history running along its seven miles of surprisingly tiny tracks. Small tracks means small engines, and your covered, comfortable, wood-panelled Eskdale Belle carriage will be pulled by one of four small and highly capable narrow-gauge locomotives – one of which was first built all the way back in 1894!
You’ll be able to soak in spectacular scenery across the Scafell range, Ravenglass Estuary and Eskdale Valley on your 40 minute journey, with lots of local wildlife to look out for as you wind up and down along the rivers Esk and Mite. You’ll start out with a breakfast roll with tea or coffee at Ravenglass before Prosecco aboard your private coach Eskdale Belle carriage and lunch at Dalegarth served with a glass of wine too.
