View of Ribblehead Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

Fantastic view of the majestic Ribblehead viaduct. Consisting of 24 stone arches that rise 32m above the surrounding moorland, it truly is a feat of engineering.

Force Gill Aqueduct

Highlight • Structure

Constructed by the Midland Railway to carry water from Force Gill into Dale Beck across the line below the southern entrance to Blea Moor Tunnel, Force Gill Aqueduct has been extensively refurbished by Railtrack. If you are hiking Whernside, or admiring Ribblehead Viaduct, this is a lovely spot to relax for a moment and contemplate the delightful surroundings.

Low Force Waterfall (Force Gill)

Highlight • Natural Monument

If you are climbing Whernside, you will not regret following the path alongside Force Gill. Not only will you beat the crowds following the main route, but you also have the opportunity to view Low Force and High Force waterfalls up close. Low Force, despite its name, has a higher drop than High Force. Be sure to make a short detour from the path to view this magnificent spectacle.

Dent Village

Highlight • Settlement

A real must-visit village with cobbled streets, little lumps and gorgeous pastel-coloured houses. On clear days you can see as far as the sea in on direction and towards the Lake District in the other (if it's a clear winter day you might get snow-capped peaks in your line of sight). There's a train station here that's on the Settle-Carlisle line and it's the highest station in England - a bit out of town though. The train line goes over the two huge viaducts (Arten Gill and Dent Head), which were both built using massive blocks of Dent ‘marble’ from local quarries that are now out of use.

Loads of history here (to do with knitting), scattered farms, three pubs and a lot of charm.
