Walk to Hellifield and ponder over what once was, visit the large station cafe with memorabilia.

A man after my own heart. I always have a soft spot for these abandoned (& not so abandoned) country junctions. Hellifield is on the list, however I am travelling with a pal & he is more into his ale than old railway buildings ~ if there is a decent pub (or not so decent - he's a Tennants/Carling man!) there that may change, however.

I would loved to have seen Hellifield in its heyday.

Maypole pub is Camra award winning in Long Preston decent beers about 4 hand pulls and good food menu with real fire

My first thought was for the Maypole, too. Very welcoming and friendly

Get a train up to Settle and walk 5 mins down the hill and up the other side from the river into Giggleswick Top of hill is Hartshead Hotel and Pub. First class cask local real ales, sky sports and great food
Wins awards from CAMRA
Stay there all the time for work
The pastry shop in the centre of Settle is great at lunch time for food as well benches outside
Maypole is supposed to be good in Long Preston according to outr sparkies as well although not stayed there myself

Search out the town hall and look at the model of long Preston as it was in midland days?

Turn around, get back on the train and leave.

Sounds good to me, I've traced my family back to Giggleswick in the 1600's. Some of them went on to work on the Settle to Carlisle rail line. A beautiful place to stay, you're very lucky mate.
