Batty Moss Viaduct - Also known as Ribblehead, this viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle line must be one of the best known sites in the Yorkshire Dales. In the background sits Whernside with its summit in the clouds, at 736m it's the highest fell in the dales. The last time we reached the summit you could see Morecambe Bay some eighteen miles or so to the west. |
