Dales Rail Trails Walking Guidebook

by: Tony and Chris Grogan
Explore the glorious high country of the Yorkshire Dales - by Train! This great guidebook describes 32 walks from stations along the world famous Settle to Carlisle line, the most beautiful railway in England.

Full colour maps at a scale of 1:25,000 with concise descriptions of the routes are included plus details of places of interest along the way and plenty of colour illustrations. The routes are graded and distance, estimated time and ascent are all provided at the start of each walk description. Eighteen of the walks are circular routes from locations along the line and are between 6 and 13 miles long. The other fourteen walks are linear link walks between stations along the line, so you can walk to your destination and return by train.

What better way to enjoy a holiday than to base yourself at a village on the line and use the train to explore the stunning western Dales? Or reach to the heart of this fabulous walking country from Leeds or Carlisle in little over an hour. So let the train take the strain while you enjoy the walk.
