Step on-board a lovingly restored steam train and travel back in time on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in the lovely Derbyshire Dales (Postcode DE4 4FB). Enjoy the scenery rolling by, make great memories and tuck-into a tasty fish & chips accompaniment.
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 trip takes approximately 90 minutes.
Fish and chips (or sausage and chip / halloumi and chips it as alternatives, chosen when booking) are 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.
On most dates, trains depart at 13:15 and 15:25. On some dates, we also offer evening excursions - departing at 18:30 - for the romance of train journey at sunset.
We have some great reviews from our several years of operating this service, including:
"It was nice to have a bit of nostalgia from childhood memories"
"Staff was pleasant and helpful polite, questions through emails was quickly answered fantastic service"
"Lovely relaxing day out"
"Thank you to all who helped make our day feel really special. We all felt like VIP's. Well done!"
Dogs are welcome on-board, but must not travel on seats.
Please note that tables are arranged in fours. Groups of two may be seated on the same table as other groups of two.
Seating Upgrades. It is now possible to upgrade to a private table as a couple for £15. Charge per booking not per person.
