Wensleydale Railway Journey & Thirsk

The Wensleydale Railway operates heritage diesel train services and offers a great day out for all the family! Enjoy spectacular scenery, visit restored historic stations and learn more about the 1900s way of life whilst enjoying free guided tours with costumed living history interpreters.

We also visit Thrisk, a charming market town in North Yorkshire, England, that offers a glimpse into the rural life and heritage of the region. You can explore the cobbled streets and quaint shops, enjoy the local produce and cuisine, and visit the famous World of James Herriot museum, dedicated to the author of All Creatures Great and Small. It is also a great base for discovering the natural beauty and history of the surrounding area, such as the North York Moors National Park, the White Horse of Kilburn, and the medieval Rievaulx Abbey. Whether you are looking for a relaxing getaway or an adventurous escape, Thirsk has something for everyone!
