From South Tynedale Railway
A great day out awaits at this heritage railway line running through the picturesque South Tyne valley in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Trains are hauled by heritage steam, diesel and battery electric locos, each with an interesting history. There's a cafe at Alston serving a range of hot and cold foold and snacks and a Buffet Car at Slaggyford selling hot and cold drinks, tryabakes, snacks and ice cream and accessible toilets at both stations. The site is accessible for those with mobility needs and very dog friendly. It's a great day out whatever your age!
