Best for Romance - Expert review of Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway
One of the most popular vintage steam railways in northern Britain.
For a little piece of history, this 19th-century, standard-gauge railway is full of the romance of the steam era.
The lost-in-time carriages huff and puff their way along tracks from Lakeside to Haverthwaite via Newby Bridge and back, journeys timed to perfection to coincide with timetable for Windermere Lake Cruises.
Combine a train ride with a lake cruise or a visit to one of the nearby attractions.
Price advice:
Standard adult return £6.20; rail and lake cruise to Bowness adult return £14.50; rail and attraction combination adult return £11.95.
Expert tips:
Pick up one of the good-value combination tickets, such as rail + Lakeland Motor Museum.
It's worth knowing that under fives travel free.
Diesel weekends and Santa Specials book up fast and have individual prices – book ahead.
