"A fine collection of steam and diesel locomotives in a riverside setting"
Overview
Step back to the steam age at the Ribble Steam Railway. Dedicated volunteers have created a fantastic collection of vehicles from Victorian times to the early 21st century, alongside displays on local and railway history. Take a trip on one of the restored trains, or just spend some time with the historic engines.

About the area
