The Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway is one of the oldest and longest narrow gauge railways in the world. Our steam engines transport passengers from Ravenglass, the only coastal village in the National Park, across the estuary, through the hills, past seven request stops with a 1:55 gradient at times, en route to our final destination, Boot at Dalegarth, some 210ft above sea level. The journey itself was one of Wainwright’s favorites, crossing seven miles of spectacular scenery to the foot of England’s highest mountains, the Scafell Range. On arrival there is something for everyone, with plenty of trails and walks to explore in this beautiful corner of the Lake District National Park with ‘Britain’s Favourite View’, Wastwater, just around the corner. Whether you are young or old, and the weather is hot or cold our cosy cafés and range of open and closed carriages guarantee a great day out!
