G'day,
With a 10 day break booked for the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes this summer I'm looking for a wet weather alternative to a predominately walking holiday. Having never travelled on the Cumbrian Coast Line whats it like scenically? Was thinking of perhaps driving to Carnforth from where we are staying and catching the train to Whitehaven?
As an alternative to Whitehaven, whats the Ravenglass and Eskdale like for scenery and railway interest? That said, as we're staying in close proximity to the S&C as our main base I don't want my wife to think that I'm taking the p*ss!
Any suggestions would be very welcome. Fortunately we then have two weeks in southern France to dry ourselves out!
Many thanks,
Richmond Commuter!
