Northern Belle
Introduction / History
The Northern Belle reflects the style of England’s 1930s ‘Belle’ trains and the British Pullman carriages of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Lavishly furnished with specially commissioned fabrics, intricate marquetry and glistening brass, every exquisite detail sets the scene for your dalliance with the romance of travel. The result is a beguiling combination of classical glamour and contemporary style.
Breathe deep, and embrace the intimate 'country house' atmosphere of each unique carriage. At this level, luxury is timeless. Take time to gently explore the beauty of Britain's scenery: Dramatic castles, rolling countryside, tiny villages and great cities. This is Britain at its finest, and there is no better way to enjoy it. Board the Northern Belle and experience history in the making.
The Northern Belle, along with its "sister" train the British Pullman, also operates a full array of day trips and weekend breaks throughout Britain, many of them with themes such as castles, gardens, historic houses, romance and Christmas.
