Settle is a bustling market town in the foothills of the Pennines amongst some of the most picturesque scenery in North Yorkshire. The town stands beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain - in a region of scars, cliffs, caves and potholes. At the rear of the town a zigzag footpath that leads to the summit of Castleberg crag offering a vantage point of the town.   The weekly market takes place on Tuesdays.  Whilst The Naked Man is probably the most famous café in the area, there are numerous cafés, restaurants and pubs in the town centre to chose from.

Carlisle is a city steeped in history, which has been an important centre since Roman times.  Step back in time and visit Carlisle Castle, once home to Mary Queen of Scots or visit  the Cathedral, a fine example of 14^th century medieval architecture.  Treat yourself to a luxurious lunch at the Hallmark Hotel in Carlisle and enjoy 15% discount on refreshments by showing your rail ticket (though this discount does not include drinks from the bar).

Lancaster is  a vibrant university city rich in cultural heritage.  Explore its its castle and museums, stroll through the pedestrianised city centre, browsing in boutique shops and high street stores, and stop off for coffee and cakes at one of the popular coffee shops or out-of-the-way cafés.  A walk along St George's Quay will blow away the cobwebs and stop in at the Maritime Museum to explore Lancaster's maritime history.  Up the hill lies Williamson Park with its Butterfly House and Ashton Memorial - the green-domed folly visible from many points in and around Lancaster.

Morecambe is the perfect place for walkers and birdwatchers to enjoy the unique beauty of the Bay.  Have a coffee, an icecream or try the famous Morecambe Bay shrimps in one of the cafés lining the seafront and admire the grand views across the estuary to the Lake District mountains. Or visit the Eric Morecambe statue which looks out across the Promenade.  See the art influences of the Tern project – a series of installations on the Prom, and the art deco façade of the lovingly restored Midland Hotel.
