With no less than eleven arches, the Lowgill Viaduct spans some 620 feet (189 metres) , with each archway measuring up as 45 feet (14 metres) wide.

It was built in 1859 for the Ingleton Branch Line of the London and North Western Railway, but today has no use other than providing an impressive landmark.

This is a beautiful viaduct, I wish I had seen it on a better blue sky day, it would make a great photo stop. Very impressive.
