Elmira is one of two Pullman Camping Coaches by the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway line providing railway carriage holidays. This unique self-catering accommodation is located in the small coastal village of Ravenglass, Cumbria. The rolling hills and craggy fells of the western Lake District form a stunning backdrop. Once forgotten and unloved, Elmira has been lovingly brought back to life and her fascinating history is now on display to be admired and cherished. As you step aboard, allow yourself to be transported back in time to a bygone era.
