Ecclesbourne Valley Railway with Afternoon Tea, Ashbourne & Carsington Water

Join us for a delightful day out to the heart of Derbyshire, combining a charming market town, breathtaking countryside views and a nostalgic steam railway experience — complete with afternoon tea served on board.

Our day begins in the picturesque market town of Ashbourne, often described as the “Gateway to the Peak District.”

Enjoy a little free time to explore at your leisure. Browse the town’s charming independent shops, stroll along its historic streets, or relax in one of the many welcoming cafés and traditional pubs for lunch. With its elegant Georgian architecture and vibrant market square, Ashbourne offers the perfect setting for a relaxed start to the day.

We then make a brief stop at the beautiful Carsington Water to take in the panoramic views across the reservoir, enjoy the fresh Derbyshire air, and capture a few scenic photographs before we continue our journey through this stunning countryside.

Our next destination and highlight of the day is the heritage Ecclesbourne Valley Railway.

Step back in time as we board a beautifully restored steam train for a return journey through the rolling Derbyshire countryside. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the nostalgic rhythm of the rails as glorious views unfold outside your window.

During the journey, you’ll be served a delicious traditional afternoon tea on board — the perfect treat to round off a memorable day. Indulge in a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, sweet treats and, of course, tea served in true vintage style as you travel by steam.
