We have another full programme of guided walks for 2010. The usual arrangement is that the walk leader meets passengers at either Leyburn or Redmire (depending on the particular route) off the train mentioned in the description below. Walks start shortly after the arrival of the train.
Walks last 3-4 hours, ending in either Redmire or Leyburn, from where you can catch a train back to your starting point. We typically cover 5-7 miles and suitable clothing and footwear is essential. Please bring your own refreshments, especially drinks. Leyburn station teabar is open on all train running days.
On limited occasions, the walk includes travel on a local or vintage bus (fare payable; free to Senior Citizens with valid bus pass). All these leisure walks include some walking uphill and downhill and require reasonable fitness but few are described as ‘strenuous’.
No booking is required for these walks unless indicated.
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.
More information about walking in Wensleydale is available on our Walks in Wensleydale page. Information about other guided walks in the Yorkshire Dales is available on the Dalesbus website.
