Ribblehead Viaduct

Great scenic spot with free parking by the road just a short walk away. Managed to catch a diesel train crossing, but if you can time it for when a steam train is crossing, it would make a superb photo.

Visited on 25/07/25 Couldn't spent more due cloudy & windy🥶 . Soothing location. Sheep's 💩 is everywhere. Pls be mindful that a lots of sheep's are gazing & watch ur steps .🥲 Toilets were closed in the railway station & there's a portable 🚻 is available in the carpark. Few tea rooms nearby .

Stunning scenery surrounding a incredible piece of historical engineering. Seen this on tv many times, so made my mind up to visit while staying in the area. Parking is just off the road in a made up free carpark, with made up gravel paths leading to the viaduct. As you approach it, it becomes more impressive untill you are stood in the shadows where it the work involved building it becomes apparent. Various paths & tracks lead of to moorland for hikers to explore. The icing on the cake would be to see a steam train cross it.

Stunning Surroundings. Beautiful scenery. If you looking for a hiking challenge then this is a place you need to visit. There is plenty of space to camp with a camper van. They have a coffee/snack van after hiking. There is also a pub called The Station Inn Riddlehead Viaduct where you can go to have a warm meal and a pint. Very friendly staff. The Pub also have wifi as the area itself has no signal, so that helped me out a lot.

Amazing piece of British engineering... absolutely stunning landscape..busy place with fell walkers as it's within the Yorkshire 3 peaks area. Must visit if you're there.

What a fantastic area to visit and walk. So much stunning scenery. If you are adventurous try climbing the Yorkshire 3 peaks, Pen y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in a day or do them over 3 days as separate walks.

A stunning piece of architecture and a fantastic historical landmark that stands tall and clear on the beautiful countryside landscape. This is a great site to see and a good starting point or checkpoint when hiking around the Yorkshire Dales.

What a amazing bit of engineering, well worth a visit with the viaduct against the backdrop of the mountains, there's plenty parking places and loads of places for refreshments and ice cream. Just up from the viaduct there's a nice little pub.
