Mothers Day Treat!

A lovely day out for all the family bring your mum, grandma, Aunts & sisters! Enjoy a gentle train journey, 40 minutes each way, as you travel from the coast into the heart of the Eskdale Valley. In Eskdale you can enjoy gentle riverside walks, discover a spectacular waterfall, or marvel at one of England’s Oldest working Corn Mills. Take lunch in any of the excellent hostelleries or at our own Fellbites Cafe. In order to make the day even more special, there will be Mother’s Day treats at Fellbites Cafe and some special Mother’s Day offers in our shops. Plus, as we are celebrating our 50th year of operating, we will be giving the first 50 mums who travel that day a goody bag! Just bring your Mum when you purchase your full line return tickets on Sunday 3rd April.

If only I did not have to be some where, this sounds like my sort of mothers day.

Not only is 2011 a busy year for the Royal family but it is also the 3o year anniversary of Derwent Pencil museum. What was the manufacturing factory now houses the great museum celebrating everything to do with the derwent Pencil.

For a family of 5 (2 adults + 3 children) £10 seems like a great way to spend your time and money.
