  • The Coach Operators Guide
    THE COACH OPERATORS GUIDE GROUP TRAVEL ON THE SETTLE - CARLISLE RAILWAY WELCOME TO THE SETTLE & CARLISLE RAILWAY Explore one of the world’s greatest railway journeys... This world-famous railway line carves its way through some of the Yorkshire Dales’ most dramatic scenery and the remote fells of Westmorland. The hard climbing done; it then passes through Cumbria’s verdant Eden Valley before arriving at the historic border city of Carlisle. The Settle to Carlisle railway has become etched in history as the line they tried to close– but failed. More than 25 years ago, it came perilously close to being shut forever but, at the last moment, was reprieved. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength and is loved for its sense of history and the impossibly dramatic setting. From Leeds, the line passes through West Yorkshire to Skipton where the Yorkshire Dales begin. Settle is the gateway to the spectacular Three Peaks area (Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside), in the heart of which sits the Ribblehead viaduct. A testament to Victorian engineering and the tenacity of the men who built it, the structure needs to be viewed in its position to be believed. The climb continues to the line’s highest point at Ais Gill, giving an awe-inspiring vista of Dentdale along the way. The craggy sides of Mallerstang signal the start of the descent into Cumbria’s Eden Valley. Isolated farms and waterfalls pepper the valley sides, and, by Kirkby Stephen, the landscape has become increasingly lush and verdant. At Appleby, red sandstone buildings surround a medieval castle in this pretty market town with beautiful riverside walks.
