Ribblehead Viaduct

The Viaduct with a cargo train going over. #LifeatExpedia
The Ribblehead Viaduct (aka Batty Moss Viaduct), which carries the Settle to Carlisle railway, Yorkshire Dales, UK (Apr 2013).
Deep inside the wonderful Yorkshire Dales. Part of the Settle to Carlisle Railway .
The viaduct was designed by engineer, John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. One thousand navvies built the viaduct and established shanty towns on the moors for themselves and their families. The ITV series Jericho took its inspiration from the construction of this viaduct.
Ribblehead viaduct is a beautiful location with North Yorkshire. A stunning place with an amazing inn and short walk away.

Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views
