Heritage Train & Bus Day At Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Wirksworth 17 & 19 July

Step back in time and enjoy a very special Heritage Day out with the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in association with Vallances Coaches.

For two exclusive dates only, visitors can enjoy a return journey from Wirksworth to Duffield hauled by a heritage locomotive, followed by a scenic tour through the local countryside aboard a vintage bus.

This is a rare opportunity to combine two classic forms of transport in one memorable day: the charm of a traditional railway journey and the character of vintage road travel through the beautiful Derbyshire scenery.

At the end of the experience, visitors can continue their journey into the past with a visit to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway’s museum and book shop. Explore regional railway memorabilia, browse the collection of railway publications available to purchase, and take time to enjoy the wider heritage of the line and the people who helped shape it.

This special experience is ideal for railway enthusiasts, transport lovers, local historians, photographers and anyone who enjoys the atmosphere of a bygone era.
