Dogs are welcome on the train, which means humans don't have to miss out on such a wonderful experience. They can even get doggy ice cream from the cafe.

A really good way to get into the hills for a good long walk, and they don't mind if you come back muddy! Pet season tickets are great value and come with a very smart red bandana. Regular dog tickets come with an emergency poo bag and a good handful of treats.

They cater for our furry friends in a number of ways, from having doggy ice-cream on hand to a little gift with the dog train ticket.

Had a fantastic day out with our dog in July food was brilliant in the cafe and we all enjoyed our train ride. We have been
A few times over the years and we always make a point of visiting when up in the Lakes on Holiday.

Our little Cockapoo Amy has been pushing Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway for the last 7 years since she was a young pup. They make her so welcome and she even has her own bandana. She can't wait to get on the train & enjoys multiple trips.

fantastic day out and so relaxing. Also a nice cafe at the end of the line, where you can also have a stroll around the area before catching a later train back at you're leisure.

My husband and myself had a trip on the railway and then had a afternoon tea and our dog Leo was also given an afternoon tea and was really looked after.

Short enough trip to Boot for your dog , they can sit on seats if enough room. Great walks on beach at Ravenglass or to the waterfall at Boot. Water stations at the stations.

Lovely way to spend and afternoon between Ravenglass and Boot, Missy our collie particularly loves her rides on the Ratty and all the sights and sounds on the journey!

My Border Terriers, Cuthbert and Matilda, love travelling on the R&ER. They like to stick their heads just over the sides and watch the countryside - especially the sheep! The dogs are always made welcome and recieve a bag of treats each (and a poo bag) with their tickets.

super dog friendly. They understand dogs are family members and are happy for the whole family to be included in their railway experience

Susan Wake, October 2020
We love seeing families on a day out where they can their dog with them - and why not they are members of the families and totally enjoy the trip in the fresh air especially on a nice summers day.
