At the end of May, I travelled to
Carlisle via the Settle to Carlisle vintage train. We boarded the train
at Darlington and passed through stations at York and Leeds before heading off
towards Settle.
During the journey, we were brought pastries and tea
to eat whilst we enjoyed the views of the countryside out of the window. I did try to take a few photos, but it’s hard when you’re moving so fast, so they're a bit blurry.
The Settle to Carlisle line is a 73-mile-long railway
line in northern England. The route takes you through the Yorkshire Dales and
the North Pennines and crosses the impressive Ribblehead Viaduct just outside Settle. The stretch of railway was
built in the 1870s and has several tunnels (which are quite scary!)
