Families should head for the Rudyard Lake Steam Railway in the Staffordshire Peak District over the early May Bank holiday weekend for a great value day out. Kids get treats with free lollipops whilst the adults the enjoy the superb scenary.
The Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is located 2 miles North of Leek in Staffordshire. The railway, runs for 1.5 miles from Rudyard Station along the side of Rudyard Lake before terminating at Hunthouse Wood. There is lots to do and see at the lake with boat trips and wildlife all around.
For those of you who are thinking about Rudyard Kipling, author of the Jungle Books, apparently his parents named him after Rudyard Lake because they met there at a picnic!
Spokesman Mike Hanson said. “This is a family day out and the kids really enjoy getting their free lollipops. It is one the ways we are trying to provide good value family days out at a modest cost.”
The normal return fares of Adult £3.50 and child £2.50 apply and prior booking is not required. The Trains will run from 11.00am to 4pm every day and the new Platform 2 cafe will be open at Rudyard station.
