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