Ribblehead

If you like your architecture and your railways then Ribblehead is a must visit. A short walk allows spectacular views of the amazing viaduct carrying the Settle to Carlisle Railway. Quite a feat of engineering for its time which claimed the lives of many men working on its construction. This stretch of line was very nearly closed in the 1980s. Glad to say it never did, and has since proved a very useful route. Pay a visit. You won't regret it.

Very impressive viaduct. Accessible paths and parking nearby. Station Hotel nearby and Ribblehead Station with café and visitor centre with parking.

Station with amazing views and a reasonable train service considering its isolated location. There is a waiting shelter and a pub nearby. The station is convenient for Ribblehead viaduct and Yorkshire Dales hikes. One potential issue is the lack of mobile phone service so be aware.

Brilliant place to visit, walking trails accessible, Railway station is only 2mins walk to Station Inn where they serve excellent food. Car park available at the Station Inn where you can book in for free as long as you use the pubs facilities ie food and drink... Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere...Beautiful scenery and historical area. One of my favourite areas in the country...

Been to visit ribble head viaduct, I went to the station and was lucky enough to spot a northern train pulling into the station. In the amount of times I've been to visit ribble head viaduct before I've never seen any trains going over the viaduct, guess you could say I timed it right. The only thing that spoilt it today was some brainless dribble head's throwing stones at the sheep.. If you can't respect nature don't bother visiting these places cos you belong in a zoo!
