Settle to Carlisle Railway
The Carlisle to Settle Railway is one of the few almost original examples left of the great Victorian Railway system. It was saved from closure in 1989 and a trust formed to preserve and restore the historic stations and viaducts along its route. The most beautiful sectiion of the line is easily accessed from Brough by taking the A685 for 6 miles through Kirkby Stephen to the old Kirkby Stephen West station on the other side. It is in regular use as part of the national railway network and runs from Carlisle in the north to Leeds in the south but by far the most outstanding section is Kirkby Stephen to Settle. If you are staying with us in Brough it is well worth a day trip out and you will be helping preserve an important part of our heritage. If you are lucky you will get to ride on the occasional steam trains.
Distance approximately 6 miles from The Inn at Brough.
