Families with children

Days out that suit children, how rail fares work for families, and where our data marks places family-friendly.

Couples

Slower routes, gardens, historic houses and inns with rooms, drawn from our itineraries and place data.

Solo travellers

Compact, walkable areas and rail-friendly routes. We make no safety claims we cannot source.

Groups of friends

Pubs, live music, breweries and distilleries, and full-pace routes, with honest notes on group fares.

Older travellers

Rail discounts, assisted travel, places reported step-free, and relaxed-pace routes.

Students and young travellers on a budget

Rail discounts for 16 to 25s, free museums and galleries checked on their own sites, and walkable areas.

First-time visitors

Where to begin, a week that links three cities by rail, and the practical guide that goes with it.

Returning visitors

Destinations beyond the usual first-trip route, quieter options and slower itineraries.
