Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Co.Ltd

Fabulous visit to this lovely, quaint and beautifully restored steam railway. Really comfortable seats as travelled in the Joan Pullman observation carriage. Fabulous views of the more remote fells that you wouldn't normally see unless you were on a long walk. Staff very knowledge, friendly and helpful. Lovely experience all round. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a pleasant afternoon/experience with this narrow gauge railway.
When we reached Ravenglass we had booked an afternoon tea, the waitress was very pleasant & we enjoyed the food which comprised of a selection of sandwiches, 2 fruit scones with butter, jam & cream.
There are also 2 public houses within walking distance where food is definitely served in the Inn, but not sure about the other public house. The last train back is at 04.30. Most enjoyable on such a fabulous sunny day.
Would recommend.

Very well presented narrow gauge railway. Prices are reasonable, a single journey from Ravenglass to the end of the line takes around 40 minutes. Seats are basic unless you upgrade, but quite adequate. Interesting scenery all along the route. Plenty to do at the Boot end of the line. A great experience. Very clean toilets on the stations.

Very beautifully maintained little steam train, which takes you on a lovely ride through a pastoral valley. My only wish is that there had been some small amount of explanation about the train, its history and operation, and sights along the way during the ride. Otherwise, a fun experience for all ages.

A proper gem nestled in fabulous unspoilt countryside. Worth the 2 and a half hour drive to get there. Railway carriages were small but great for 2 people & comfortable once seated. Cream tea was substantial and a lovely lunch time treat. Will return with Grandchildren next time. A lovely day out & highly recommended

We did the virgin train and cream tea experience and it was great, nice 40min train ride through the countryside and cream tea in the downstairs dining area. Choice of hot drinks which were served fairly quickly. Sandwiches and scones were nice. Lots of time to go to the river, my son to head to the park and also browse the gift shop and then to get a lolly. Really worth the money and would do it again x

Great miniature steam railway, lovely scenery. Toilets at both end stations. Museum at Ravenglass worth a look, very interesting. If using the cheaper carriages take you own seat pad/cushion as wooden bench seat are very hard, or just upgrade to more luxurious carriages! Recommend booking ahead to guarantee seats where you want.

Brilliant trip.

Had a Sparkling Cream Tea gift voucher,and was delightful.

Beautiful countryside and scenery all the way to Dalegarth.

Brilliant friendly staff too

A short wander to the falls nearby is lovely

I put "no wait" but that depends on your train time. Plenty to do while waiting for the train to depart
