Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway
Miniature steam engines - properly miniature, knee-high to a real train - hauling open carriages seven miles into the fells. Forty minutes of pure delight each way; combine with Muncaster next door.
Muncaster Castle
Ravenglass, Cumbria
A lived-in castle above the Esk with a Hawk & Owl Centre whose flying displays - herons diving, owls skimming ears - are the genuine event. Gardens, adventure play and a cheerful line in ghost stories fill the rest.
It is a long drive and earns it, especially doubled with the Ravenglass railway next door. Check display times before setting off; they anchor the day.
