This very special tour includes a journey over the entire majestic route of the famous Settle to Carlisle railway, with its great limestone peaks and deep valleys we travel over no fewer than 19 viaducts and through 12 tunnels on this masterpiece of Victorian engineering – including the famous Ribblehead Viaduct.

Our train heads into the Yorkshire Dales for a spectacular journey over the magnificent high Pennines and the sheer scale of the scenery is apparent as we pass such famous landmarks as Ribblehead Viaduct, Wild Boar Fell and Mallerstang Edge, with stunning views of the three peaks. One magnificent sight follows another before we gradually descend into the Aire Valley and past the market town of Skipton, then on to the historic city of York for a sightseeing break of around three hours.

York, a city of extraordinary historical wealth with a magnificent circuit of 13th-century walls enclosing a medieval spider’s web of narrow streets. At its heart lies the immense, awe-inspiring Minster, one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the world. York’s long history and rich heritage is woven into virtually every brick and beam, and the modern, tourist-oriented city – with its myriad museums including the Jorvik Centre and superb National Railway Museum.
