The Settle-Carlisle Railway

A line steeped in history, The Settle-Carlisle Railway allows you to take in a diverse and varied range of attractions. With a regular scheduled service, forming part of the National Rail Network, the railway allows access to the Yorkshire Dales with views of some of the finest scenery in Britain.

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 in to the longest tunnel on the line at Blea Moor.

Emerging onto the side of Dentdale, the line leaves the Dales at Garsdale and makes it 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.
