Steam Train Travel with Fish & Chips (Derbyshire)

Event Summary
Take in the picturesque scenery on a 16 mile round trip from Wirksworth, just 14 miles from Derby, in a heritage carriage from the 1950s or early 1960s, hauled by a steam locomotive.
The food is freshly served/collected at the half-way point, to be eaten on the return journey. You will also be given a drink and scrumptious flapjack or large biscuit.
