Rudyard Lake & Railway

The Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is in the North Staffordshire Peak District and the steam trains give a great 3 mile return trip along the side of the lake. The railway uses real coal fired narrow gauge steam engines to pull its trains.

Rudyard Lake retains its great beauty and serenity and was recently named the 3rd most romantic spot in the UK. The lake is an ideal family centre for picnics , sailing, boating and fishing as well as riding the steam train. It makes a superb day out for children. The railway is 10.25 inch gauge and is equivalent to about half the size of a narrow gauge railway. The steam trains run whatever the weather and have covered coaches.!

Timetable

Trains run on Sundays Saturdays & daily in school holidays 11.00am to 4pm,
