One of our most cherished local experiences ✨
The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, affectionately known as La’al Ratty offers a beautifully nostalgic journey through the Eskdale valley, with sweeping fell views and a wonderfully relaxed pace.
It’s an experience we’ve enjoyed many times as a family over the years, and it remains one of our favourite ways to explore this quieter corner of the Lake District.
Just a short drive from The Old Vicarage Irton, it’s perfect for multi-generational stays, slower mornings and memory-making afternoons.
We’re always happy to help guests plan their visit 🚂🌿
