The Settle to Carlisle railway is steeped in history and runs through 72 miles of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and Cumbrian landscapes between these two northern market towns, a journey through some of the finest scenery in Britain.
The route runs through 14 tunnels and over 20 viaducts including the iconic arches of the Ribblehead Viaduct - a triumph of Victorian civil engineering.
Our three walks take in some of the scenic highlights and heritage along the route and will include Dent to Ribblehead, a walk taking in high hills, moors, valleys - and great views. We start and finish at the stations to enjoy both the country and the train which runs though it
