We have another full programme of guided walks for 2008. The usual arrangement is that the walk leader meets passengers at either Leyburn or Redmire (depending on the particular route) off the 10:05 train from Leeming Bar (departs Bedale 10:11, Finghall 10:29 and Leyburn 10:44).
Walks from Leyburn start at 10:50 and walks from Redmire start at 11:00.
Walks are moderately strenuous and last 3-4 hours, ending in either Redmire or Leyburn, from where you can catch the 15:50 train back to your starting point. We typically cover 5-6 miles and suitable clothing and footwear is essential. Please bring your own refreshments, especially drinks. Depending on the route and timings, there may also be the opportunity to visit Bolton Castle Tea room (closed during the winter), the Old Town Hall Tea room in Redmire or cafés in Leyburn. Leyburn station teabar is open on all train running days.
Booking is essential unless otherwise stated.
Bad weather conditions or ground conditions may lead to cancellation of a walk. Please check on this website for up-to-date information or telephone our information line 08454 50 54 74.
Normally no charge is made for Wensleydale Railway passengers with same day railway tickets. A £3 charge is made for others.
