CARLISLE

The Settle-Carlisle Railway



"England's most scenic railway"

The 72 mile route from Settle to Carlisle takes you on a journey through the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, over the 24 arches of the Ribblehead Viaduct before plunging into the longest tunnel at Blea Moor.

Emerging onto the side of Dentdale, the line leaves the Dales at Garsdale and makes it's way through the gentle, lush rolling hills of the Eden Valley, with rural villages and market towns before arriving at the great border city of Carlisle.
