Chester and the surrounding towns and villages are lovely spots as is Lancaster. Small cities but lots of character and great for food and drink.

You can’t go wrong with the Lake District for unspoiled beauty.

Travel along the Settle Carlisle line is well worth the journey. The scenery is spectacular.

If you want scenery, then you can do no better than the Settle to Carlisle line, followed by the run along the Cumbria coast down to Barrow.

Gigg lane in bURY is worth a visit as this time next year it probably won’t be there!

They would offer to take you 25% of the way, tell you to enjoy the ride, then let you walk the rest!!!

Carlisle to Edinburgh or Glasgow is about £27 day return - you could add this on to the Rover ticket as another decent day out.

Some good spots on that itinary James.
The "Hole in't Wall" in Bowness is recommended for a decent pint and value for money food.
I think we discussed the gourmet merits of Clitheroe on this board a few months ago.

Cheers for that it looks like a quality establishment.

You are moving dangerously close to becoming a northerner James and before you know it you would have sold your one bedroom flat and bought a three bedroom detached house up there,there's a reason that it's cheap up there James... There's a reason!!

Oh and don't forget your flat cap and hob nail boots to blend in

Do NOT believe him James. Sell your one bedroom flat and you will be able to buy a baronial manor house up here, provided you get through "check point Charlie" in the Nottinghamshire wall.

From Clitheroe station, head directly uphill to the main street, turn right and (after taking in the castle) about 400 yards on you can't miss the huge food hall and beer palace.* Since it's a Monday, look out for the signs on individual handpumps advertising half price ale with a burger or similar

I was there this weekend, great place and they're adding quite a bit, cinema opening very soon.

It seemed to be signposted more obviously as Bewery by Bowland (or something like that) rather than Holmes Hill (I managed to drive around the block several times until I realised it was the same place!)

Yes, you're right, it's the home (holme?!) of Bowland Brewery

Itinerary is going to pretty packed. Along with the ale houses suggested, I am going to try The Ratty Arms in Ravenglass. Any suggestions for Penrith and Hexham are much appreciated.

Only problem I see on your scenic railway journey is Rochdale or Dogdale as more commonly known.

Town centre is handy for a range of vape, pawn, pound, charity shops or a bank. No fast food outlets greater than 1* Food Hygiene rating nor any resteraunt chains / decent Indian or Chinese either..

Alternatively you can get freely any form of illegal substances or purchase a big issue to while away the hours back down south from outside B&M..

There are many pubs & clubs, none friendly though and Saturday night resembles Ibiza on speed, with the exception of the Black Dog obviously 😀

He’s been to Rochdale before, but I disagree with you. The flying Horse, the Medicine Tap, the Baum, are three great and friendly Rochdale pubs. If you travel a little way out you have The Healey, the Oxford, the Cemetary and many more

Alas I can't partake in any illegal contraband sold by street traders, due to zero tolerance at work and random testing.
