The Eden Valley Railway is based at
Warcop in Cumbria (or Westmorland, in old money), just off the A66
between Appleby and Brough.
By Car:
From the M6: leave the M6 at Junction 40 and head east along the A66 for approximately 18 miles before turning right at the Warcop road junction, signed Warcop and Warcop Training Centre. Turn left just before the railway bridge and follow this road to the visitor entrance, which is at the far end of the site.
An alternative route from the M6 is to leave 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 junction, signed Warcop and Warcop Training Centre. Turn left before the railway bridge and follow this road to the visitor entrance, which is at the far end of the site.
