Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway
Main Street, Ravenglass, CA18 1SW, United Kingdom | 01229 717171 | WebsiteVenue Description
Join us as we journey from Ravenglass, the only coastal village in the Lake District National Park, 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. The journey itself was one of Wainwright’s favourites, crossing seven miles of spectacular scenery to the foot of England’s highest mountains, the Scafell Range (3,209ft) at their peak. With daily steam hauled services from March until October and special events throughout the year.
