Severen Valley Railway: Follow the River Severen by the steam engine that will take you along the 26 km stretch, and crossing the famous Victoria Bridge.For more information go to Severen Valley Railway

North Yorkshire Moors Railway: More than 150 years old, this track will take you through a 29 km journey of forests, meadows and valleys from Pickering to Grosmont. For more information go to North Yorkshire Moors Railway

Bluebell Railway: This rail will take you from Lewes to East Grinstead. This journey too is a popular trail often taken by many travelers.For more information go to Bluebell Railway
