Scenic Routes of Britain by Train

11-day rail trip on Britain's named scenic routes and sleeper train

Railbookers runs this 11-day, 10-night independent rail package built around some of Britain's most scenic named train routes. Starting in London, the journey travels to Bristol via the Devon Coast and the South Devon Hills, then north to Leeds along the 'Heart of Wales' line. From Leeds, the route continues to Glasgow on the Settle and Carlisle Line, crossing the Ribblehead viaduct, before ending at Fort William, where the evidence describes a day trip on the Jacobite Steam Train. The trip then returns overnight aboard the Caledonian Sleeper. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own sightseeing at each stop. It suits travelers who see the train routes themselves as the main attraction, from a coastal line in the southwest to a heritage steam railway and an overnight sleeper train in the Scottish Highlands, at a starting price of 3,949 US dollars per person.
