Have you been to West Cumbria? There is a great narrow guage railway which runs steam trains - The Ravenglass and Eskdale railway or the ratty as it is known locally. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery, you have the fells and coast and some great places to stay and eat, try the the visitcumbria website for more info, or ask me it is my old stamping ground so know it quite well. Its our 30th anniversary this year too so am wondering what to do also.
