Great Yorkshire Rail Journeys: through lush valleys steep
Rich in history but with a regular scheduled service, the Settle to Carlisle line grants access to some of the England's finest scenery.
Immediately out of Settle and passengers are deep into the Yorkshire Dales, through Stainforth Gorge, across the two Sheriff Brow viaducts before the magestic Pen-y-Ghent comes into view.
Horton-in-Ribblesdale station next, with its volunteer-tended gardens and handsome buildings lovingly refurbished by the Settle and Carlisle Railway Trust.
From there, Ribblehead station and a view of Ribblehead viaduct's 24 fine arches with Whernside and Ingleborough around.
Dent then and the highest mainline station in England, 1,150 feet above sea level. This breathtaking line then passes through Garsdale with its attractive railway cottages, before curving over Dandry Mire viaduct and into Moorcock tunnel.
The first glimpse of the River Eden next, which is followed all the way to Carlisle, via the market town of Kirkby Stephen and the rolling hills of the Eden Valley.
So, why not hop aboard our video and soak up the atmosphere and stunning views of this unique line.
