Widely known as England's most scenic line, the enduring Settle
& Carlisle Railway was built by the Midland between 1869 and
1876, as part of its quest to forge its own, independent route to
Scotland. It is, uniquely for a railway in the UK, a Conservation
Area in its own right - viaducts, tunnels, bridges, stations,
trackside structures and railway workers' cottages. By walking all
or parts of the route from Settle to Carlisle, you get the chance
to get up close to the railway's magnificent architecture - but
also to see the lonely and lofty fells, and stunning scenery from
the Dales through the Pennines to the limestone pavements of
Westmorland and the green Eden Valley. In the company of this
knowledgeable guide, you'll also discover centuries' worth of local
history and traditions: Roman remains, medieval castles, and the
Romany who still meet at the annual Appleby Horse Fair gathering.
