A little history
The Settle-Carlisle Railway — built between 1869 and 1876 through the most challenging Pennine terrain — is the most scenic mainline railway in England. Malham Cove — a 70-metre curved limestone cliff — is one of the Dales' most spectacular features. The town serves as a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
The Settle-Carlisle Railway journey is genuinely extraordinary. Malham Cove is 5 miles — the limestone pavement at the top is like another planet. The Dales walking from Settle. The market for local produce.
