Terrific scenery / Settle-Carlisle Railway / 3 Peaks Walking / Cycling

A great area for a short break holiday. Depending on how energetic you are there's walking, cycling, climbing, swimming, riding on trains, fishing, playing golf, shopping, touring....in fact something for everyone.

Settle - Carlisle Railway

Ribblehead Viaduct Experience this enchanting ride over some of the greatest scenery in the country. This stretch of railway was nearly closed in the late 1980's but, due to strong protests from keen enthusiasts, the railway has survived and is now going from strength to strength.
There are many stops to consider from Settle, but the majority of our customers either alight at Appleby or Carlisle. Appleby is considered to be at the end of the spectaular scenery whilst Carlisle provides those additional shopping opportunities afforded to a larger town.
Timetables are available at the Harts Head to help you plan your day out.

Yorkshire Dales Falconery

Many of our customers who have visited this tourist attraction have commented very favourably about seeing the birds fly. Whilst still a fairly new attraction it provides a terrific setting to see some of the tremendous birds flying from hand to hand. Some customers book either a 1/2 day of a full day course at the centre. Telephone XXXX XXXXXX for more details. Residents at the Harts Head attract a x% discount on the course fees.

Great walks

Too many to list all of them. We have many books to help you plan your walks. Firm favourites include :

The three peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-Y-Gent, Whernside
Malham Scar & Cove

Cycling
