A bonanza of bonuses!!
50 per cent off
Despite the near daily news items announcing doom and a liberal dose of gloom to follow it’s still best foot forward for a warm welcome and a great deal at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
As a thank you for travelling with us, we are now offering a great deal if you visit our sister attraction Ullswater ‘Steamers’. For every full line return ticket you purchase we’ll give you a voucher for 50% off the price of the equivalent number of tickets at the ‘Steamers’. What could be better eh! Staying in the central Lakes and taking a trip out to the Railway one day and then enjoying a half-price trip on the Steamers before the end of the holiday … after all our vouchers are valid for a full 14-days after the date of issue …
and there's more...
Visit Peter Rabbit and Friends in Bowness-on-Windermere.
How this for another great deal. Take a trip to the Peter Rabbit and Friends shop in Bowness, spend £10 or more and receive a voucher for one child to travel on the Railway completely free.
Peter Rabbit and Friends – 015394 88115 – just a hop from the lake and at end of one of the most delightful streets in the bustling village, not only sells a comprehensive range of Beatrix Potter gifts, toys and collectables, but also delights its many customers with ranges featuring Paddington Bear, Postman Pat, Flower Fairies, Shaun the Sheep, Miffy, Noddy and many more.
You’ll be overwhelmed by the variety … spending a tenner is so, so easy! Spend more than £20 and there’s a further giveaway too!
And more again …
Having a holiday based near Ravenglass or in Eskdale?
There are some lovely places to stay in our corner of the Western Lake District – whether it’s camping with the kids, B&B, or something in the executive line ... So, there you are on the doorstep of the Railway … and more than likely to ride on the trains more than once during your stay …
Take advantage of our Explorer Ticket – this gives you five full days travel out of any seven consecutive calendar days, for the heavily discounted price of £30 per adult and £15 per child (aged 5-15) …
Leave the car behind – give the back seat driver a rest – let the train take the strain – you can do little journeys, interspersed with a Wainwright ‘Walk from Ratty’, a longer ride – and a glass or two of the falling down stuff from the local hostelries, hire a bike from Dalegarth – the opportunities are endless!
New exhibition at Dalegarth Station and Visitor Centre …
Did you know that Hadrian’s Wall either starts or terminates at Ravenglass dependent on how you are looking at it? No, neither did we until those clever people who bring history alive descended upon us and set up a great exhibition covering the period of the Roman occupation of Eskdale, of the Western Lake District, and of traditional Hadrian’s Wall country. Stunning graphics, a fascinating storyline presented in an easily readable manner and what’s more entry to the exhibition in the Eskdale Room is completely FREE!
Sponsored by Hadrian’s Wall Heritage, here’s another reason to travel by steam to tell ‘Adrian to get offa that wall ‘cos ‘is dinner’s ready!’
