Seen from the top of Pen y Ghent and knowing that in about 6-8 hours you will be looking up at its vast bulk, takes some beating mixed emotions! Variety of terrain on the approach in, followed by a relatively short scramble up. Take your time and watch where you put your feet! Your respect for the mountain will be rewarded.

4. Settle Carlisle Railway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 717 reviews
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.

Simply stunning. A beautiful old bridge that begs to be photographed and a short walk to the falls. It had been raining so the galls were wonderful to view.

7. Hoffmann Kiln - Craven Lime Works

Reviewed By michaelgP219MB - Settle, United Kingdom
Found this industrial heritage on a walk between Stainforth and Lancliffe. Various information boards and trails. Also some audio exhibits of interviews with past workers. Paths can be slippy if wet. There is a car park but not easy to locate - you need to go under the railway off the main road. Highly recommended, giving an insight into the industrial heritage of the area. Walking inside the kiln chambers is impressive.
