The Cumbrian Cycle Way is within 2 miles and there is access to the Coast To Coast long distance footpath at Ravenglass (4 miles) where there is also the famous Ravenglass and Eskdale narrow gauge railway. 15” narrow gauge railway, opened in 1875 to carry iron ore to the Furness Railway, now carrying passengers from the old Roman port of Ravenglass seven miles along the Eskdale valley to Eskdale. Trains are hauled by either steam or diesel engines and the journey lasts 40 minutes. Telephone 01229 717171 for details of departure times. Today the seven-mile ride has been described as "the most beautiful train journey in England".
