Where We Are

The Eden Valley Railway is based at Warcop in Cumbria, just off the A66 between Appleby-in-Westmorland and Brough. 


From the M6, leave the M6 at Junction 40 and head east on the A66 for about 18 miles. Turn right at the Warcop road junction, signed Warcop and Warcop Training Centre. Turn left immediately before the railway bridge and follow this road to the visitor entrance which is at the far end of the site.

An alternative route is to leave the M6 at Junction 38 and follow the A685 through Kirkby Stephen towards Brough before turning west onto the A66 and following the instructions below.

 

From the East:

take the A66 over Stainmore and past Brough before turning left at the Warcop road junction, signed Warcop and Warcop Training Centre. Turn left immediately before the railway bridge and follow this road to the visitor entrance which is at the far end of the site.

It is possible to approach the railway via Warcop Village but we do not encourage this are some of the country lanes are rather narrow and there is no signage to the railway in the village.

Update July 2026

New Sunday bus service links Penrith and Kirkby Stephen

A new three-times-a-day Sunday timetable on the 563 Penrith-Kirkby Stephen route is among the new bus services launched this summer in Westmorland and Furness.

The Sunday 563 bus between Penrith and Kirkby Stephen goes via Temple Sowerby, Kirkby Thore, Appleby, Warcop (for Eden Valley Railway) and Brough, and is operated by Stagecoach.

“This means there is now a seven-day-a-week service between Kirkby Stephen and Penrith that we trust will be well used by Kirkby Stephen residents and by visitors to the town.

“It has been more than 20 years since we last had a service seven days a week. It has been made possible by the hard work of local public transport campaigners and the commitment of Westmorland & Furness Council to invest in public transport in rural areas such as the Eden Valley.
