Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway

My family and I visited this charming little railway on Sunday, August 4^th, 2013.
We started our journey from the town of Harrogate early in morning and it took a couple hours to get to the Haverthwaite Railway Station.
The railway runs for 3 ½ miles from Haverthwaite Station, along the banks of the River Leven, to Lakeside Station where passengers can board a boat to cruise across Lake Windermere.
There is the Station Restaurant at Haverthwaite Station where you can purchase drinks breakfast, coffee or lunch. One of their specialialties are Giant Homemade Scones. I tried one and it was very good. It is definitely a giant scone and I split it with my son. Apparently, they are supposed to have a really good apple pie and sausage made by a local butcher. They also serve their very own locally brewed «Fairburn Ale». It was too early in the morning or I would have tried that.
In addition, there is a Gift Shop that sells books, model locomotives and other souvenirs.
