The Settle-Carlisle railway line is one of the most famous in England. Half a million passengers ride on it every year, many of them for the sheer pleasure of journeying through some of the North’s most magnificent scenery from the comfort of the train. We also take in Skipton and more beautiful scenery through the Lake District.

The Cedar Court Hotel is a Grade II listed building and was Harrogate’s first hotel. It enjoys a peaceful location in landscaped grounds close to the town centre and provides spacious and well equipped accommodation. Public areas include open plan lounge and bar. All bedrooms are en suite and have television, telephone, hairdryer and tea & coffee making facilities. The hotel has a lift.
