Bank Holiday Short Break - Settle to Carlisle
If time is tight but you’re craving a refreshing escape, this fabulous two-day tour is just the ticket. Enjoy the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbrian countryside from the comfort of a diesel train, relax with an overnight stay in central Carlisle, and round off your journey with a taste of the Lake District.

Your Itinerary

We begin with a scenic journey to Yorkshire’s charming market town of Skipton, known as the “Gateway to the Dales.” Explore its independent shops, cobbled lanes, and one of the finest medieval castles in the country. In the afternoon, we board the diesel train for a spectacular ride along the iconic Settle to Carlisle Railway. Completed in 1876, this masterpiece of Victorian engineering offers unrivalled views of the Pennines and beyond. On arrival in Carlisle, we check into the Crown and Mitre Hotel for a relaxing evening. After breakfast, we begin our scenic journey home with a delightful detour through the Lake District. We follow the tranquil shores of Ullswater, climb over the dramatic Kirkstone Pass, and descend to Lake Windermere, where we enjoy a short break amidst the serene landscape. We then continue our return journey home, with memories of a truly scenic escape.
