It was a wet, rainy day so we decided to go to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway and spend the day travelling up and down on the oldest working 15" gauge locomotive in the world.
I was feeling a bit under the weather anyway, so it was lovely to have the opportunity to see the Lake District from a steam train. I took so many photographs so wanted to share a few of them with you here.
Afterwards we walked around the small coastal village of Ravenglass, once occupied by the Romans for over 300 years. We walked down, passing through small woodlands scattered in snowdrops, to the Roman Bath house remains, apparently one of the largest remaining Roman structures in England. I was amazed by how much of the walls were still remaining all these years later.
On the way back to the cottage we stopped in a lay-by close to the edge of Wastwater tot make some photographs and walk a little as the fading light was so beautiful.
