Ribblehead, Cumbria
Ribblehead is a bleak moorland area at the very head of Ribblesdale where the River Ribble has its source. Here the skyline is dominated by the famous "Three Peaks" of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent.
The area also includes the 24 arched Ribblehead Viaduct which carries the world famous Settle to Carlisle railway line across the valley of Chapel le Dale.
The viaduct represents a short stretch of the beautiful 72 mile long railway line and was built between 1870 and 1875. This is probably one of the most famous railway bridges in the UK.
