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.

An amazing and quaint single box. Serves as a great milestone/waypoint when on the Three Peaks and heading up/down Whernside!
