Miteside Halt railway station

Ravenglass, Italy

Miteside Halt railway station is a railway station on the 15" gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England. It is located where public footpath and the railway cross, a short way west of the passing loop. It was first opened in the days of the 3ft gauge railway, to serve the residents of t

he nearby Miteside House. A former resident of Miteside House was William James Linton, who moved there in 1849, before the line was opened. To provide protection from the elements, a upturned boat hull was provided as a shelter. This tradition of using a boat hull as a shelter continues to this day, the current boat is the third one in the halt's history.
