Itinerary

DAY 1 Departure: A morning departure, stopping for lunch and refreshments en route to our hotel.

DAY 2 Scenic Carlisle to Settle Rail Journey with optional* guided walking tour of Carlisle: After an optional guided walking tour of Carlisle we board our train for what is described as the most scenic and beautiful 72 mile rail journey in the country. Your train passes through rural villages and market towns, by rivers, lakes and mountains with many spectacular views. The line follows one side of the narrow gorge cut by the River Eden. As the train continues the Lake District becomes visible in the far distance, with the high mountains of the Pennines. As it approaches Appleby the tower and turrets of Appleby Castle can be seen. The line descends the Stainforth gorge, and finishes in the market town of Settle.

LAST DAY Preserved railway optional* & travel home: Subject to availability of trains, there will be an opportunity for an optional* trip on a preserved railway. Following this we depart for home, arriving in the evening.
