Over the summer trains will run from Skipton to Appleby, offering walkers and cyclists a chance to explore stunning parts of North Yorkshire and Cumbria. In the UK's post-pandemic months, when demand for domestic holidays is sky-high, Yorkshire's expansive green spaces hold appeal for many. But how to explore it without spending hours in a car and cries of 'Are we nearly there yet?' From next month, a new rail service on one of the country's most scenic routes, between the Grade II-listed stations of Skipton, North Yorkshire, and Appleby in Cumbria (a 90-minute journey each way) will open up a pocket of the UK countryside to cyclists, walkers and visitors looking to explore by train.
