This is our family favourite, we love this place!! 19th-century railway viaduct noted for its photogenic span of 24 stone arches. Michael Portillo filmed there during one of his famous Railways Travel. 78 miles from Avalon Lodge. Address: Low Sleights Rd, Carnforth LA6 3AU

This is the place to visit if you want to conquer one of the 3 Yorkshire Peaks (or all 3).

The Ribblehead Viaduct is 1/2 mile from us. There are several lovely walks around the viaduct and if you are lucky you might see a steam engine cross the viaduct( selected dates throughout the year).

Ribblehead viaduct is probably the most famous of the many feats of Victorian engineering along the stunning Settle to Carlisle railway line. Its iconic location in the middle of the Three Peaks makes it a popular photo stop. There are a number of laybys, a tea wagon and the popular Station Inn. Of course the easiest way of getting there is on the train as there is a station at Ribblehead itself. On Sundays during the summer there are connecting bus services to and from Ingleton and Hawes and further afield. The viaduct was built between 1870 and 1874 with up to 1000 navvies working on the construction site. The viaduct is 400m (440 yards) long with 24 arches spanning across Batty Moss. During construction the navvies were housed in camps close to the viaduct – Sebastopol, Belgravia and Batty Wife Hole – some of which had schools, libraries and pubs. It was dangerous work and disease was also a threat.

One of the great viaducts in England carrying the Settle to Carlisle railway. You can park your car here and take the train up or down the line.
