Britain's Coastal Railways

Misty mountain, bustling cities, rolling countryside, there are so many incredible attractive elements that make up the UK. Arguably, the most beautiful of these is the glorious stretch of coastline which winds its way around all four nations of the isles. Picturesque cliffs gaze over blue oceans, shimmering white beaches greet the waves, and who can forget the promenades, harbours and piers of Britain's cheerful seaside towns?

The good news is that Britain's excellent selection of coastal railways are an absolute delight to discover and they criss-cross all over the islands, travelling over the cliffs and pulling into pretty coastal stations. Some are heritage, some are panoramic but all are innately enchanting in their own way.

Great Rail Journeys offer a dazzling range of coastal railway journeys for your perusal, take a look below and discover rail holidays to England, Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland!

“The rail journey to Dublin was fine without any problems. Before we boarded the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin we met our guide Ivan. During the 9 days he was always friendly, with patience and gave us the relevant historical information. Hotels bus trips and driver all was top class. I personally had a very positive experience since it was my first trip with GRJ .

“An enjoyable tour of a beautiful area. This would have been 5 star but the pace was quite rushed and there were a lot of long coach journeys. Unfortunately there were late changes to the hotels and I only had one night out of eight as originally booked. The biggest change was to move from the Royal Mile at the centre of Edinburgh to Haymarket a mile and a half away. I was only informed of the changes when I received the receipt for my final payment. I have travelled many times with GRJ and not had any problems before but the lack of communication and substitution of inferior hotels have made me reluctant to book again.

“The holiday was very enjoyable, the hotel was comfortable, the staff pleasant and helpful. The flight of stone steps leading to the hotel entrance was challenging for elderly visitors with luggage. Our friendly tour manager Atha was a mine of information and useful tips and kept us on track. Visits to the Commando Memorial, Eileen Donan Castle and the Culloden Battlefield Tour were well worthwhile. It was disappointing that we did not have enough time in Mallaig and no time in Fort William due to the railway timetable. There was more coach travel than expected but Scotland’s countryside bright with gorse and broom and costal scenic views were beautiful.
