Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Group & Education Press RAVENGLASS & ESKDALE RAILWAY GROUP & EDUCATION PRESS PACK 2014 DO THE LOCOMOTION WITH R&E! January 1, 2014 Locomotion’s Heaven Will Thrill Lake District Group Visitors In 2014 The endearing and much-loved Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway will be continuing to thrill groups visiting the Lake District in 2014, with both its regular narrow gauge services and a packed events programme, which might just give a group an added reason to visit. Twelve exciting events add to the romantic experience of travelling by steam along the longest narrow gauge railway track in Cumbria, through hidden valleys and awe-inspiring landscapes on an amazing seven-mile journey. Events range from wildlife days, including an RSPB Activity Weekend (June 7 and 8) and a Conservation Day (October 12), to a Family Fun Weekend (May 3-5) and a visit from Postman Pat® (October 4 and 5). Ravenglass and Dalegarth for Boot are the two stations between which Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway gives passengers a really memorable day and atmospheric journey. Ravenglass is the Lake District’s only coastal village and Dalegarth, nestles close to England’s tallest mountains near the village of Boot. Groups of railway enthusiasts always find much to thrill them at the line known locally as ‘The Ratty’, but this year they can get up close to the locomotives Bonnie Dundee and Synolda, which will be on static display at the Family Fun Weekend. Other group visitors to the Railway are often to be seen wearing walking boots – and little wonder! There are many trails and walks to explore from the Railway, whether you are brandishing binoculars and in search of birds, or wandering in search of a waterfall. Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway has its own little gem of a walks booklet in the form of ‘Walks From Ratty’. This was especially written for the Railway by renowned walker, Arthur Wainwright, and it features 10 detailed and illustrated walks, each of which starts and ends at a station on The Ratty’s line. A day out with Ravenglass and Eskdale gives a group the opportunity to drink in stunning scenery, while enjoying the longest and oldest steam railway journey in the Lake District. Passengers are always engrossed in their trip, which features a 1:55 gradient at times and highlights such as Rock Point, hidden Miterdale and the mighty Scafell range. Whether dropping 20 feet to the valley of the River Esk, or slowly climbing the track, there is something to talk about en route throughout the tranquil journey. Services on the Railway start to run again, following a short winter break, during February half term 2014, with a full service commencing in the middle of March and going right through to November 2. During late November and December, the Santa trains run for children and schools and services carry on through the Christmas and New Year period before the locos are allowed to have a little rest. Added to all this are some new developments for 2014. There are new interpretation line panels at key stations thanks to funding from the Hadrian’s Wall Trust and a brand new commentary App to download from www.ravenglass-railway.co.uk or the Railway’s social media pages. Using these tools, you can find out much more about the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Additionally, there is free wi-fi available in both cafes now and also a new webcam at Ravenglass. Bring your group to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and you’ll have a great day out that’s full of memories. More details are at www.ravenglass-railway.co.uk or available by ringing 01229 717171, or emailing [email protected] - ends - Press calls: Jane Hunt, Catapult PR, 01253 891114 – [email protected] New Features At ‘The Ratty’ For 2014! The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, known locally in the Western Lake District as ‘The Ratty’, has introduced some brand new features for 2014. New interpretation and information panels have been installed at the stations of Ravenglass, Dalegarth for Boot, The Green, Fisherground Halt, Irton Road and Beckfoot Halt. These all explain a little bit about the area around the station and provide visitors with some historic background too. At Ravenglass, visitors can read about the Roman fort at Glannaventa and the Eskmeal Dunes, while also learning about wildlife, cycling and the First World War original Pullman coaches that provide unique holiday accommodation. At Dalegarth, there is reference to Scafell Pike, the Eskdale Corn Mill and Hardknott Fort. The Green’s panel informs the visitor about great train photography opportunities, exciting walks and some of the buildings in the village, while at Fisherground, the emphasis is on where the locos can have a drink (at a water tank), and on the wealth of local wildlife. Irton Road’s panel presents the history of the station and references Irton Hall, while Beckfoot Halt’s explains the former importance of iron ore mining in the area and the role of the Beckfoot Quarry. Other new features introduced by the Ravenglass and Eskdale are free wi-fi both at the Turntable Café in Ravenglass and the Fellbites Café at Dalegarth and a new commentary App, which passengers and visitors can download for free, to get more information about the Railway and its local area. This can be downloaded from www.ravenglass-railway.co.uk or the Railway’s social media pages, from which a new webcam at Ravenglass can also be accessed. Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway’s marketing manager, Rachel Bell, says: “Our visitors and passengers are always hungry for more information about The Ratty, because it is such a lovely and very different steam railway, travelling through some amazing countryside, on a long 7-mile line. To satisfy the curiosity of our visitors, we have created information panels for those who wish to learn the traditional way and an App for those who prefer more modern ways of learning. With free wi-fi too, passengers can always get online while enjoying a refreshment or meal and access any other information they seek.” The Ratty will start its services again during February half term, which will give passengers the first opportunity to use the new features and not only travel by steam, but also satisfy a hunger for more facts and figures.

  • Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council
    Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council This is the submission on behalf of Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council to the Boundary Commission for the Electoral Ward Boundaries in Mid and South Copeland. In identifying these wards, the following aspects and consideration were taken into consideration: Ease of access and communications for the public and public services The “sense of place” that these communities have had for decades Population density and appropriate numbers of elected members to the recommended ward boundaries The proposed naming of the wards, (Yellow = Mid Copeland, Blue = South West Copeland, Green = South East Copeland) gave consideration to reducing the possibility of conflict and or angst relating to historic terminology. They provide a logical description relating to the actual location to assist tourism and service providers. Mid Copeland (Yellow Area on the map) will include the Lake District National Park Authority Service Centre of Gosforth. There are many shops, restaurants, library and village hall. Mid Copeland links Seascale with its shops, supermarket, library, three churches, leisure facilities, primary school, surgery that covers down to Bootle, and railway station with the wider valley areas. The Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg is a major employer in the area and is sited close to the railway station. Within Holmrook there is a vehicle repair centre, a well‐stocked garage/local shop and an agricultural supplier/post office all based on the A595.This would be a two‐member ward South West Copeland (Blue area on the map) has the A595 running almost its full length. It has railway stations at Ravenglass (with access to Boot via the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway), Bootle and Silecroft.

  • Muncaster Parish Plan
    MUNCASTER PARISH PLAN September 2007 Foreword Fellow Parishioners, The Muncaster Parish Plan was made possible by funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) through Voluntary Action Cumbria (VAC) and the willingness, dedication and commitment of members of the Parish Council to take on the task of producing it. So what is the Parish Plan and what is its purpose? Make known those issues that affect our community Identify and prioritise key issues within our community Produce an action plan to promote the changes that the community wants to see at local, district and county levels. Quite simply the plan gives everyone in our community an opportunity and a feel for what you the Parishioner wants. This process started by members of the Parish Council approaching all the groups and businesses within the Parish to ascertain specific ideas and questions that they wished to have included within the questionnaire. This proved to be a worth while exercise and gave us a real feel for how the plan would be shaped and received. Once the questionnaire was formulated, distributed to you and returned a long data-input process ensued and enabled us to extrapolate the information contained within. This document is a summary of the information gathered and the proposed actions to be taken. Details of the questionnaire responses and analysis of the data are available upon request to the Parish Clerk. The results of those processes are contained within this Plan and I commend it to you; after all it is YOUR plan and as such is owned by the Parish.

  • TRIP 7: HOD REET FUR ESHDEL Without Any Doubt, to My Way Of
    TRIP 7: HOD REET FUR ESHDEL Without any doubt, to my way of thinking, Eskdale is the most beautiful valley in the Lake District. This view is corroborated by St. Alfred of Wainwright in his booklet ‘Walks from Ratty’ (7) where he says: “Eskdale, one of the loveliest of Lakeland’s valleys, descends from the highest and wildest mountains in the district to the sands of Ravenglass in a swift transition from grandeur to beauty, from bleak and craggy ridges to verdant woodlands and pastures watered by a charming river. It is a place of many delights, the finest of all valleys for those whose special joy is to travel on foot and a paradise for artists. Unspoilt by commercial and industrial activity, it remains today little changed since the first settlers discovered and cultivated with loving care this perfect Arcadia in the hills.” (p.3) I bow to the master. This, I believe, was written in 1978 and is still true today. My only quibble with the great man is that I find the upper reaches of Eskdale just as beautiful as the ‘verdant woodlands and pastures’ (see spots 96 & 97): the ridges may be ‘bleak and craggy’ but what about the waterfalls, the rivers, the Great Moss and the shapes of the mountain-tops which speak of beauty as well as grandeur? Photo 1214: Map of Eskdale (Crown copyright 2015, Ordnance Survey FL-GV 166842) Some will object that there are no lakes in Eskdale. True, but there are two very large tarns and many smaller ones that I personally find more beautiful than the great expanses of, say, Windermere, Bassenthwaite Lake and Coniston Water.

  • STEAM & ROLL BACK the YEARS Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway
    STEAM & ROLL BACK THE YEARS Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Press Pack 2013 Steamroll Back The Years With A Little La’al Ratty Magic In 2013 Passengers of all ages who buy a ticket to board a Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway narrow gauge steam train in 2013 will be rolling back the years and experiencing the magic of steam, coupled with the retro feel-good factor that comes from having days out the way they used to be. An exciting and full day out can be enjoyed with the Lake District’s longest-established narrow gauge steam railway, (established since 1875 and colloquially known as La’al Ratty or The Ratty), which also offers the longest steam journey available in The Lakes. Fourteen miles of twists and turns and rises and falls in the track make this a fabulous and value-for-money return trip to take from the Lake District coast, to a location nestled in the shadow of its highest mountains, including towering Scafell. During the 40-minute journey, there is much to spot and see to satisfy keen eyes and minds, whether that is a geographical feature such as imposing Muncaster Fell, a red squirrel playing in the trees, or quiz trail clues hidden beside the track. The terrain moves from coastal estuary, to fell landscapes and from lush and hidden valley bottoms, to glimpses of the serpent-like River Esk – a dream for photographers. A day out can also be enjoyed with train travel as the only transportation method, if budget-conscious or environmentally-friendly families wish to save on petrol and emissions and take advantage of Northern Rail services, which connect with Ravenglass.
