Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway are one of Britain’s Heritage Railways and a registered educational charity. They run regular steam services throughout the year and lots of exciting special events such as a 1940’s Weekend, a Branchline Weekend, Santa Specials, Halloween Specials and lots more besides! A journey on the multi award-winning Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway is an unforgettable experience for all the senses.

Take a Ride behind one of their vintage steam locomotives for a special journey back in time. 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. Settle back in beautifully restored Victorian and Edwardian carriages and enjoy a unique view of some of Yorkshire’s finest countryside … or hop off at Holywell Halt and just watch the trains go by!

For something a little extra special, try riding in their First Class saloons, or combine your trip with a Cream Tea or an Afternoon Tea served on the train. During the summer & autumn they also offer Evening Eats: Strawberry Specials, Fish & Chip Specials and their famous Curry Express!
