Friendly staff who go above and beyond for you and your four legged friends.

The rail trip is beautiful and so special being able to go as a full family!

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

Our Bruce thoroughly enjoyed his rides behind ā€œWhellan Beckā€. Loves the musical whistle!!

Had some wonderful days there with our dogs over the last 25 years.

Best day out ever!


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.
