What is the name of the railway summit? I reckon that it is somewhere in the Lake District. The clue is -

"one of Britain's greatest railway inclines....this notorious railway summit (916ft), on a line noted for its lack of tunnels and large viaducts."

Thanks in advance

I think this may be the Settle - Carlisle railway. It's worth checking.

The Beattock Summit is in Cumbria, on the line from Scotland to England, I believe. Could that be it?

The Beattock Summit is on the West Coast Main Line.

The highest point on the Settle-Carlisle is Ais Gill Summit.

How about the Lickey Incline?

This is the longest sustained climb in the country - somewhere around Birmingham I think Good Luck

There are several viaducts and tunnels on the Settle - Carlisle MM

Shap Summit, on the West Coast Main Line near Tebay, is 916 ft above sea level, and would fit the criteria.

Yes Otleybard, you beat me to it! If you go to http://www.visitcumbria.com/pen/shap.htm you will find the evidence!

What about the railway up Scaefell on the Isle of Man? It does not have tunnels or viaducts.

It's definitely Shap Summit.
