]]> Hartside is a magical place, a pass in the northern fells where the A686 reaches the summit at 1903ft, connecting Melmerby and Alston. The easy gradients and swooping curves of the McAdam road cuts through Hartside. Without the road not many people would visit Hartside and it would be left as a wilderness area, like some of its near neighbours. It doesn’t take long walking away from the road towards Fiend’s Fell and Cross Fell to feel an added sense of wilderness and desolation. Hartside is visited by many folk using various means of transport.

The images take you on an imaginary journey from Settle to Carlisle and back again, sometimes you are on the train, sometimes beside it.

]]> A photographic celebration of the Settle-Carlisle Railway, highlighting the everyday magic of the structures, line, views and the people.

The Settle – Carlisle line is often described as one of England’s most scenic railways. Magnificent Victorian engineering enabled the line to be built through the wild and beautiful northern uplands.

Probably more photos have been taken of the Settle – Carlisle than any other line in the UK. Simon Whalley’s photos take a fresh new perspective on this famous railway. Taken throughout the year as photographer in residence, Simon’s photographs show the route in a different light and seek to capture the spirit of the line in today’s world.

This hard cover book is a great gift for anyone who has travelled the line or is thinking of doing so!
