What you can expect

  • Take a trip back in time on the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. Your ticket is for passengers travelling standard class in one of our historic carriages, as it is hauled by a beautifully restored steam train. Enjoy a one hour return starting at either Embsay Station near Skipton or Bolton Abbey Station, which is one and a half miles from the famous Abbey ruins. Breathe in the evocative smells of a real steam railway, while your eyes and ears thrill to the puffing and hissing of the steam engine.

    Have your camera ready for some great photo opportunities along the way, including Embsay Crag and the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. You may even be fortunate enough to see Deer, Hare and the majestic Red Kite.

    We have a cafe and gift shop at both stations for you to enjoy. The cafe at Bolton Abbey is larger and serves a wider variety of food and drink. Well behaved dogs are allowed on the trains (not dining carriages), but we request they not be allowed on to the seats.

    Make more of your day out with a visit to Bolton Abbey with its historic priory and beautiful walks by the river, including the famous 'Strid'. The market town of Skipton is known as the 'Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales' where you can also visit the Castle or join our friends at Skipton Boat Trips for a cruise on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
