Britain's Coastal Railways

Misty mountain, bustling cities, rolling countryside, there are so many incredible attractive elements that make up the UK. Arguably, the most beautiful of these is the glorious stretch of coastline which winds its way around all four nations of the isles. Picturesque cliffs gaze over blue oceans, shimmering white beaches greet the waves, and who can forget the promenades, harbours and piers of Britain's cheerful seaside towns?

The good news is that Britain's excellent selection of coastal railways are an absolute delight to discover and they criss-cross all over the islands, travelling over the cliffs and pulling into pretty coastal stations.

“The usual excellent holiday with a good guide. It was a pity that the planned railway journey on the last day couldn’t happen because the railway had shut for winter. In fairness, we were given plenty of warning that this was the case

“The trip and scenery and food were fantastic. As well as the accommodations! Our guide, Rosie is what really pulled the trip together...she was wonderful!! Improvements: The roads are very winding and too much time on the coaches, sometimes made us out of sorts. Drivers were excellent...

“We found the whole programme provided an interesting tour of the area. However on such a short duration holiday having a full day free seemed excessive having travelled so far to attend. The hotel Mercure that we stayed was 5 stars as was the tour guide. Ken Cumbria

“Excellent trip. Although it was disappointing that the railway did not run from Hyde Harbour to Sandown but considering the age and mobility of most of the guests it was better to be coached to places. Wide variety of experiences, good hotel

“The room at Crianlarich was far too hot!!!! We asked them to turn it down, but they said they couldn't. The room was set at 27C, very uncomfortable.
