SnC Yorkshire Dales

SnC Yorkshire Dales

Yorkshire Dales incorporates the high ground section of the Settle & Carlisle Railway. As well as the main line there is a branch to Hawes. In addition there are a couple of short sections of the North Eastern's branches which used to link Darlington with Furness and Cumbria.

From the south end of this route the line is almost continuously climbing at 1 in 100 up the Ribble Valley as far as Blea Moor Tunnel. It then continues at about 1100 feet above sea level for some distance through the upper reaches of Dentdale, Garsdale and Wensleydale. At Garsdale there is a junction for the branch that dropped steeply into Hawes,closed nearly 50 years ago.

The 1169 foot summit , which is the highest main line in England, is reached at Ais Gill. The line now descends, again mostly at 1 in 100 into the Eden valley, crossing the river at the bottom of the descent, not far from Appleby. At Appleby there is a short link to the North Eastern's Darlington to Penrith line.
