RAILWAYS GALORE FROM<br />

THE DALES TO THE MOORS!<br />

SETTLE TO CARLISLE RAILWAY<br />

& YORKSHIRE STEAM<br />

There’s no finer way to see the classic scenery of Yorkshire than being pulled along by a<br />

steam train with the smell of smoke and whistling sounds taking you back in time. This is<br />

exactly what the North Yorkshire Moors Railway offers. Our return journey will be one to<br />

remember, with free time in the historic coastal town of Whitby. We enjoy a steam train trip<br />

along the edge of the Yorkshire Dales as well as an incredible return journey along one of<br />

the last great mainline railways to be built in the country. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, which<br />

crosses a staggering mosaic of landscapes, is one you will never forget. So join us for railways<br />

galore; from the dales to the moors, with a perfect dose of creamy Wensleydale cheese.<br />
