Travelling to Ravenglass by train
Ravenglass has its own station on the Cumbrian Coast line, served by hourly trains from Carlisle. The journey is a fairly long one along a slow railway with multiple stops. There is no service on Sundays and there can be fairly long gaps between trains during the afternoon, so it’s well worth planning your journey in advance.
The line is also sometimes closed for engineering works at weekends or late in the evening.
