Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, Heritage railway in Cumbria, England.
The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway extends 7 miles through the Lake District, connecting Ravenglass station to Dalegarth Station near Boot.
The railway began operations in 1875 to transport iron ore from local mines to the Furness Railway, becoming England's first public narrow-gauge railway.
The line preserves traditional railway operations with both steam and diesel locomotives, maintaining engineering practices from the Victorian era.
Trains operate daily from March to October, with return tickets costing £20 for adults and £14 for children in 2024.
The railway runs through two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Lake District National Park and the Frontiers of the Roman Empire.
