We have preserved 22 miles of the former line from Northallerton to Garsdale that opened to passengers in full in 1878. Timetabled services run over the 16 miles from Leeming Bar to Redmire (for Bolton Castle) and we are actively working to restore the full length of the line as part of our historic rail and transport experience.
Whether you fill your day with the Wensleydale Railway experience, or simply hop on for a ride as part of a Dales day out: the Wensleydale Railway is a fantastic day out for everyone!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Trespass on the railway or lineside is a criminal offence.
The ONLY circumstances in which anyone may walk on the 22 mile section from the run-out loop near Castle Hills junction to the present end of the rails at Redmire is when they hold a valid Wensleydale Railway Personal Track Safety Certificate and have a DUTY to be on the line at that time.
In the interest of railway safety, the Wensleydale Railway will not hesitate to prosecute trespassers.
The closed railway line between Redmire and Garsdale is private property, except along the few sections where there is a public right of way.
