Scenic Rail Britain, Community Rail Network’s tourism and leisure campaign, is seeking local insights and knowledge from across community rail to contribute to two upcoming blogs.

The blogs will launch next month (February 2024) on the themes of ‘romantic railways’ and ‘half-term family fun’.

‘Unusual places to stay’ aims to showcase a range of unique accommodation properties that are within reach of railway stations. We’re looking for places to stay that are near to railway stations and have an unusual feature such as converted railway carriages, old station houses, farm hideaways, vineyard glamping, forest cabins, stately homes or even a castle!

‘Easter family fun’ will be aimed at families looking for greener adventures in advance of the Easter holidays. We will be highlighting ideas for days out by train which may include visiting tourism attractions, parks, walking/cycling routes etc. We’d love to showcase any special events that you may be hosting at stations/venues as well.

If you have content/event details that you think would fit into either of these themes, please send the details to Alice, Campaigns & leisure promotion coordinator.

If you’d like to discuss content in more detail for this or future campaigns, please also get in touch.
