As the summer draws to an end, it’s time to celebrate the passing of a season. Autumn colours during the day and the Blackpool Lights by night – what could be more appropriate?
12 miles of standard gauge steam mainly in the Irwell Valley with intermediate stations and excellent adjacent transport museum.
Rustic line with excellent facilities including a fine bookshop.
Steam on a former Yorkshire branch-line with attractions at every intermediate station. Great fun and something for everyone.
Not a preserved line, but England’s most iconic rail journey.
Narrow guage line in an old quarry setting with “come see all we’ve got” approach – great fun!
The Dunkenhalgh Hotel is a striking building whose rich and intriguing history can be traced back to the 13th century. The heritage of the Dunkenhalgh (or ‘The Dunk’ as it is affectionately known) has been essentially preserved during remarkable transformation from a historic countryside mansion house to a luxury hotel set in 17 acres of Parkland. It will be a real treat to stay here and don’t forget your swim stuff – the spa is legendary hereabouts!
