Ribblehead Viaduct is one of Yorkshire's most iconic sights. The viaduct's superb positioning between the Three Peaks makes it a photographer's dream and a delightful place to take in the scenery.

The viaduct is 1,312 feet (400 m) long with 24 arches spanning across Batty Moss. Built between 1870 and 1874, approximately 1,000 labourers worked on its construction.

Blea Moor Signal Box

Highlight • Viewpoint

This must be England's most remote signal box! It's situated on the Settle to Carlisle line near Ribblehead. This stretch is one of England's most beautiful railway lines with views across the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We took the train from Appleby to Saltaire and then walked back to Appleby over five days along the Dales High Way.
