Emerging onto the side of Dentdale, the line leaves the Dales at Garsdale and makes it way through the gentle, lush rolling hills of the Eden Valley, with rural villages and market towns, before arriving at the great border city of Carlisle There is a regular daily service operating all year (except Christmas and Boxing Day), with a wide variety of tickets depending on the journey.
