Tips from locals
Built 1870 – 1875. Grade II Listed. Part of the Settle-Carlisle Conservation Area. The Ribblehead Viaduct carries the Settle-Carlisle Railway across Batty Moss. Designed by John Sydney Crossley (Chief Engineer of the Midland Railway), the viaduct is the longest and third tallest structure on the Settle-Carlisle line. The Viaduct has twenty-four magnificent arches that carry the railway line 104 ft above the moor. Two thousand three hundred men (navvies) were involved in the construction of the viaduct and the nearby Blea Moor tunnel. The navvies lived in shanty towns built in the area near the base of the viaduct. This area is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
