About
A Unique Day Out in the Lake District to Celebrate 150 Years of the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway
As part of the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway's 150th anniversary celebrations, we're delighted to support a special Victorian-themed fundraising event organised by the Ravenglass Railway Museum.
Taking place on the exact anniversary of the first passenger trains running on the railway in 1876, this exclusive event invites visitors to step back in time and experience a memorable Victorian day out in the Lake District.
Whether you're a railway enthusiast, history lover or looking for a unique family day out in Cumbria, this special celebration offers the chance to travel through the spectacular Eskdale Valley while helping to preserve the stories and heritage of the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway for future generations.
