The Settle-Carlisle Railway is one of the world's great rail journeys. It carves its way through the magnificent landscape of the Yorkshire Dales and then descends to Cumbria's lush green Eden Valley with its views of the Pennines and Lakeland Fells. A seven day a week service of diesel sprinter units gives travellers plenty of choice of when to travel, and the opportunity to board and leave the train at many of the beautifully preserved stations along the route. Customers can also expect a refreshment trolley service on many of the trains.

Travelled on this line yesterday. It has been on my bucket list for a while now. Boarded the sprinter class train at settle and the journey was a joy from start to finish. Comfy modern train with regular trolley service for refreshments. The scenery , especially from settle to Appleby is breathtaking. Just a shame you don’t realise you are going over the Ribblehad viaduct, that is probably better viewed from the road. Some of the stations en route seem really remote ( especially Dent) but all look really well kept. £44 for 2 return ( standard fare , can be done cheaper, pre book , railcard etc) was worth every penny. Great day out. Carlisle was nicer than I remember too. Would love to do again.

Private house. The conversion was the subject of two one-hour episodes of TV's Restoration Man. This gets shown all over the world and we have been privileged to welcome people who have seen the programme in their home countries. During 2020 we are having building work done in the grounds which will therefore be a building site, not open to the public. However, if you have come half way round the world to see the place do please come and ring the doorbell on the off chance. Just now though COVID restrictions apply of course.

We would hike to thank Grand Central for working so hard to run the 14.48 from London Kings Cross to Bradford yesterday 7th November after delays due to a broken down train and flooding in South Yorkshire. They filled the train with LNER passengers whose trains had been cancelled but found then all spare seats.
