Constructed by the Midland Railway to carry water from Force Gill into Dale Beck across the line below the southern entrance to Blea Moor Tunnel, Force Gill Aqueduct has been extensively refurbished by Railtrack. If you are hiking Whernside, or admiring Ribblehead Viaduct, this is a lovely spot to relax for a moment and contemplate the delightful surroundings.
