The Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway operates part of the former Furness Railway branch which originally ran between Plumpton Junction near Ulverston in South Cumbria to Lakeside, at the southern tip of Lake Windermere. Opened in 1868, the main use for the line was as a link to bring holidaymakers into the Southern Lake District. The line was severed by the realignment of the A590 past Haverthwaite station, and today tourist come either by car, or on one of the ships which still ply Lake Windermere.
