A easy walk along the old railway line

This limestone area is worth a visit.Could be slippy if wet.

Views across to Eden Valley

A lovely viaduct (not to be confused with Smardale Gill Viaduct). The other one is older and more impressive, but this one is great to look as well! The train line goes over here, so if you're lucky, you will do a bit of trainspotting... It's a very comfortable underfoot path here, made for walkers and joggers, so it's a great place to run, too.

This very impressive viaduct, built in 1861, used to be a part of the South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway. It carried coal and coke across the Pennines (apparently over 1 million tons of coke per day!) The line closed in 1962. The viaduct's restoration was completed in 1992. It is a very impressive place to be these days; the blending of human engineering with the dramatic landscape here is very striking. The Viaduct can be run on, so no need to stay at the bottom - it's the best way to appreciate the awesome views of the valley, and it's a fantastic run!

A beautiful and Grade-II listed stone bridge over Scandal Beck. The track running over it is almost completely grassy, adding to its charm. Worth stopping here for a bit of peace and calm.

Wander Bank (320m) offers fantastic views (although the actual summit is just a bit off track, a minute's walk to the north-east). If you look south along Newclose Lane, you will see Crosby Garrett Fell and the Howgills in the distance. There is also a rather atmospheric-looking barn here that adds to the whole picture!

This church dates back to Norman times, with some evidence of it being potentially Saxon prior to that, too. However, it was practically completely rebuilt in 1864-65. The church has this "classic English church" feel as though it's straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. It is worth stopping here for a bit and have a rest in this peaceful place.
