Ravenglass & Eskdale
Steam Railway
Welcome to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. Join us as we journey from Ravenglass, the only coastal village in the UNESCO World Heritage site, Lake District National Park. Travel across the estuary, through the hills, past seven request stops with a 1:40 gradient at times, en route to our final destination some seven miles up the line to Dalegarth for Boot Station.
Please note that dogs are welcome to travel on the railway (small charge applies) and are also welcome in some of our buildings.
Museum
Take a step back in time and get hands on in the Railway Museum. Owned by the Railway Musuem Trust, entry is free but donations help to preserve history.
