Rudyard Lake Steam Railway
Recommended by
Overview
The Rudyard Lake Railway is one of the UK’s finest heritage steam railways, providing a train trip along Rudyard Lake and a great family day out. It uses narrow gauge steam engines, which are equivalent to about half the size of a normal narrow gauge railway, with 10.25-inch gauge tracks. Trains have covered coaches and run whatever the weather. The lake was developed by the North Staffordshire Railway to offer days out to the workers of the Midlands and North West. It was recently named as the third most romantic spot in the UK.
