As I write, we're approaching the end of the first week of the Community Rail Network's 2023 "days out by rail" campaign. The theme for week one is "wonderful walks", so I thought I would share 12 of my favourite walks that you can do straight from the station platform.
Meandering up to Orrest Head on New Year's Eve

What better way to introduce a German Shepherd puppy to the Lake District?
