These are just a few of the many options available in every country that will blow you away, so consider making your next adventure a train journey.

Talyllyn Railway

The weather in Wales might not be the best in the world, but the countryside is almost beyond compare.

 

See the hills and valleys, forests and lush greenery as you make your way from Tywyn to Nant Gwenoi.

Settle-Carlisle Railway

Yorkshire and the Pennines are famously picturesque areas of the English countryside, and you’ll see the very best of them as you travel from Settle to Carlisle via many villages and vistas as you go.

 

You can take in the scenery for the entire journey in one go, or you can take a break and get off for a drink in one of the many small settlements on the way.

 

Rocky Mountaineer

The Canadian Rockies are glorious whichever way you see them, but the train has got to be one of the best possible ways to see them.

Your views will be as perfect as the service on board this top quality train journey through some of the most famous scenery in the world.

There’s nothing quite like it, and if you have all the time in the world to get all the way across the globe - perhaps you’re taking our advice and travelling by train other than by plane - then this is one of the best routes to try.

Because the trains themselves are so sleek and modern, you won’t have to forego your comfort on the way, meaning you get the best of everything - from the scenery outside to the hospitality inside.
