Settle to Carlisle Way

Walk the Famous Railway

The Settle to Carlisle Way is a newly developed route that runs from station to station, mostly within sight of the famous railway. It runs for 97 miles (156 km), starting from Settle and soon enjoying great views of the Three Peaks as it progresses through the Yorkshire Dales National Park, past the Ribblehead Viaduct and over Blea Moor tunnel. Entering Cumbria via lonely Mallerstang, the Way passes beneath Wild Boar Fell and descends gently through the lovely valley of the River Eden. Here it passes Long Meg and her Daughters stone circle and moves on to Armathwaite, ending in the historic border city of Carlisle.
