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

      Fantastic spot to visit, small car park nearby, and occasionally a food van in the right weather. If you look into it, you can be there for when the steam train goes over it.

        An iconic Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales, and a very photogenic one. It's also a great place to start and finish the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, meaning you miss the crowds who set off from Horton in Ribblesdale and get Whernside ticked off quickly. Starting here also means you have a long flat (ish) walk back rather than a long walk then Ingleborough!
