Description

Visit our website at foscl.org.uk to find out more about our history. It is a pleasure to still offer free guided walks all these years later and we are proud of the contribution FoSCL made to safeguard England’s most scenic railway for everyone to enjoy.

All of our walks start and finish from stations on the Leeds-Settle - Carlisle Line and do not require a car. There is no need to book in advance so just buy your train ticket and meet us at the station! See our website for train ticket tips.

Often, they are linear walks where the route takes us from one station to another making it more of an adventure! For full details of the routes, please see our website. Our volunteers lead walks every Saturday and some Sundays from April to September.

Everyone is welcome to come along but if you are new to hiking or have had a long break from it, please start with the easier walks. The landscape in this part of the country means that a route will almost always involve a hill or two, have stiles to climb over and possibly tricky terrain. It is best to build up to longer, more strenuous walks so that you enjoy them more and feel comfortable with the pace.

We look forward to you joining us to explore the beautiful countryside and experience a wonderful trip on the fantastic Leeds-Settle-Carlisle line.
