Arriving at Ravenglass C&CC Club Site | Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway

Join us as we travel to Ravenglass Camping and Caravaning Club Site, then take a magical journey aboard the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway—one of England’s most scenic and historic narrow-gauge railways! We're travelling in our Expedition 68 camper van, with our trusty co-pilot Florence the Wire Fox Terrier, exploring the western Lake District from a unique perspective. We start our trip with a stop at Mainsgill Farm Shop on the A66 before heading to the Ravenglass Camping and Caravanning Club Site—perfect for motorhomes and dog-friendly too! The next day, we board the charming 15-inch gauge railway, affectionately known as La’al Ratty, for a ride through stunning Cumbrian countryside to Dalegarth Station, with stops to explore and lots of railway history shared along the way.
