Graphic for Sarah, director of comms and policy at Community Rail Network, sharing her favourite walking spot. 'For me, there’s nothing quite like the big skies over Marsden Moor. After stepping off the train at Marsden, you’ll find the National Trust centre right opposite the station, packed with information about the many trails and routes to explore. I love heading out across the moors with Blaze and Tess, my two energetic springer spaniels, to blow away the cobwebs!'

Graphic with Jenni, community rail support officer at Community Rail Network, sharing her favourite walking route. 'My favourite walk is probably the Purbeck Ridgeway, from Wareham Station to Swanage. The views are spectacular, birds of prey overhead and the steam train puffing through the valley below. And on the way back, that first glimpse of Corfe Castle from the top deck of the bus is unbeatable!'

Graphic with Alex, training and development coordinator at Community Rail Network, sharing her favourite walking route: 'As a volunteer with Yorkshire Dales National Park, I used to love taking the train along the Settle to Carlisle Line to Dent Station to survey and maintain a number of paths. It’s a stunning spot and a perfect gateway to the outdoors. From Dent, I’d walk up to the Monkeybeck Grains path under Great Knoutberry Fell and enjoy the amazing views of the Three Peaks of Yorkshire and along Dentdale. I’d then head south, walking beneath the impressive Arten Gill Viaduct. Occasionally I’d go on towards Ribblehead Viaduct via Blea Moor and the tunnel chimneys, before hopping back on the train.'

Graphic with Gary, projects development manager at Community Rail Network, sharing his favourite walk: 'One of my favourite walks is the route from Corrour Station in the Scottish Highlands, Britain's most remote train station. It's a stunning, peaceful route across wild moorland to Loch Ossian, with dramatic view and a real sense of escape. Plus, it's famously featured in Trainspotting, which adds a fun twist!'
