Welcome to the Ratty Arms
The Ratty Arms is located on the platform of Ravenglass station on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs past the main terminus of our narrow gauge railway. Guests can sit back and unwind with a drink, while watching the trains go by.
The Ratty Arms is dog friendly and wheelchair accessible with accessible toilet facilities.
The Ratty Arms was formerly a Furness railway station building. As a result of the Beeching cuts in the late 60s’, Ravenglass became an unmanned halt and when British Rail decided they had no further use of these buildings, the Railway Company purchased and converted them. "The Ratty Arms" public house was officially opened on the 13th of June 1974.
