Take a trip up the Ravenglass & Eskdale railway in search of contemporary wildlife paintings, living in the landscape of the Eskdale valley. Artist Sarah Taylor is bringing her vibrant wildlife paintings on an adventure along the Eskdale valley, with paintings installed in a variety of locations along the Railway.
