Known locally as La’al Ratty, The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is a narrow gauge steam railway linking the coastal village of Ravenglass to the Lake District National Park. La’al Ratty is 'Little Railway' in the local Cumbrian dialect.
A bridleway runs alongside the tracks so if you are lucky you might see, smell and hear a train chug by. This makes it an especially good place to bring young bikers who will no doubt love the spectacle and easy going terrain.
A popular MTB route is to catch La’al Ratty from Ravenglass to Dalegarth and ride back along the Eskdale Trail.

Start at Holmrook Bridge - I started recording a few minutes late. Due to a change of mind on route plan I covered some road at King George PH twice - just turn left towards Hardknott.
