Escape the crowds and explore the Lake District, Cumbria by rail!
To help you explore more without the need of a car, we have developed a series of Rail Trails. These walks all start and finish at a train station and feature a number of Cumbrian highlights. So grab your map, your boots and your train ticket and hit the Rail Trails.
For more information on getting around by rail visit our travel pages. Remember to always pack appropriate clothing and have a map and compass and know how to use them.
Exploring the region car-free has never been simpler. The Cumbria Travel Pass gives you unlimited, seamless travel across Northern, TransPennine Express, and Avanti trains, Stagecoach buses, and Windermere Lake Cruises.
The pass also includes discounts on heritage railways and further lake cruises (including Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, Coniston Launch and Ullswater Steamers).
