This magnificent £7.40 train ride through fells and forests will take your breath away
It is not unusual for train travel in the UK to hit the headlines. Most of the time, it's for the wrong reasons.
But if you look hard enough, there is still joy to be had on a train ride. One journey from Lancashire, via the edge of the Lake District up into the tip of Cumbria is one of the most amazing you can find in the UK, if not the world Set off from ancient and cobble-culture Lancaster to cathedral city Carlisle via the historic and the impossibly charismatic market town of Penrith.Stunning and fast in equal measure, this ride is perfect for this time of year, even when it is wet and cloudy, with rain drops making the autumn leaves glisten as you trundle by.
Lancaster is an idyllic city to explore in November, with its urban Williamson Park especially gorgeous in the the late autumn light. Savour the panoramic views from the Ashton Memorial and learn all about the city's rich and legendary past with a visit to Lancaster Castle. You can even double-up and experience two castles in a day and head to Carlisle Castle, which is a short 15-minute walk from the station.
