A 400-meter-long railway viaduct in North Yorkshire, England, built in 1875 and restored in 1985, featuring 24 arches and carrying the Settle-Carlisle Railway line 32 meters above the surface of the valley floor, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
It's a fantastic place to visit with lovely scenery. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth taking a stroll. It's very peaceful and an excellent spot for a long walk with your dog. There are ample parking spots along the way, so parking shouldn't be a concern. Additionally, it's a great place for photography enthusiasts to capture plenty of beautiful shots. No matter what day you choose, whether it's sunny or raining, you will enjoy the day. You might be fortunate enough to snap a great photo of a train crossing the viaduct.
If you are hiking up Whernside, then seeing this at the start of the hike on a sky blue day puts you in the right mood for the rest of the day. It is a magnificent structure, eye-catching to say the least, and no wonder it is one of Yorkshire's iconic must-see things. To see it on the way back, when the light has changed, just puts the icing on the cake. There is ample parking close to the viaduct, and also a decent pub (Station Inn).
What's a outstanding feature where nature meets mankind. I did the 3 hour ribblehead circle walk, it was approximately 15k and took just under 3 hours. The walks was on on trails apart and cutting through the scenic landscape. Only downside was a small stretch on the side of the busy B647. I would recommend getting there early as parking was a issue. I will visit again in the future and probably get the train.
Spectacular place to visit, highly recommend. Very thankful for the lovely weather. Parking is also very easy.
Great place to go for a wander. If you shout and wave at the train drivers they toot their horn at you which was fun for the kids. Tearoom has the absolute minimum very expensive snacks and hot drinks, not doing themselves any favours. Great photo opportunities
Absolutely perfect place in the middle of nowhere. Lots of people around though for that fact. There was even a train coming by, seems to be a rare sight though as there wasn't another in the next hours. Looks even better if the train comes by
Good for kids
