","location":"Chapel-le-Dale.","photo_ref":"","description":"Ribblehead Viaduct is a railway viaduct across the valley of the River Ribble in North Yorkshire, northern England.
\r\n
\r\nIt is the longest (but not the tallest - Smardale viaduct near Crosby Garrett at 131 ft and Arten Gill at 117 ft are higher) and most famous viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, a railway line passing through some spectacular British scenery. Ribblehead railway station is located less than half a mile to the south of the viaduct.
\r\n
\r\nDesigned by the engineer John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874.
\r\nIt is 104 feet (32 m) high and spans 440 yards (402 m). It is made up of 24 arches. It is located at the foot of the mountain of Whernside.
\r\n
\r\nThe viaduct is curved, and so may be seen by passengers on the train. The train journey from Settle to Carlisle is short enough to allow the Yorkshire Dales holidaymaker to make a return day trip (steam-hauled, in the tourist season) including a few hours in the border town of Carlisle.
\r\n
\r\nAbout two thousand Navvies building the viaduct established shanty towns on the moors, named after victories of the Crimean War, sarcastically for posh districts of London, and Biblical names. There were smallpox epidemics and deaths from industrial accidents; the churchyard at Chapel-le-Dale had to be extended.
\r\n
\r\nThe Settle & Carlisle line is one of three north-south main lines : the other two are the west and east coast lines through Penrith and Newcastle respectively. British Rail attempted to close the line in the 1980s, citing the reason that the viaduct was unsafe and would be expensive to repair. A partial solution to this was to single the line across the viaduct, preventing two trains from crossing simultaneously. The viaduct, along with the rest of the line, was maintained and there are no plans to close it.
\r\n
\r\nThe viaduct is Grade II* listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument

It became a parish town in the early 12th century when the church of St. Oswald was established. This church was historically associated with the Deanery of Chester, and was part of the Diocese of York - though, today it is part of the Diocese of Bradford. The surviving parish records date back to 1556.
\r\n
\r\nIn 1597 Horton in Ribblesdale, like so much of northern England, was struck by a killer plague. This is confirmed by the parish burial register, which lists 74 deaths that year compared to just 17 deaths during the preceding and succeeding years. Those lost to this pandemic amounted to roughly one-eighth of the parish's population.
\r\n
\r\nThe Grade I listed village church is dedicated to St Oswald. It has a complete Norman nave, south door and tub-font and is the most complete of the Norman churches built in the Yorkshire Dales after the Norman conquest and the Harrying of the North that followed. The square tower was built later. The lychgates to enter the churchyard are roofed with huge slabs of Horton slate.
\r\nOther buildings in Horton are typical of the area. 17th century yeomens' farmhouses can be found on the edge of the village, and later cottages can be seen nearer the centre of the village.
\r\nIn the 1870s the new railway prompted the building of Victorian terraced housing. Later the local quarrying of limestone led to the building of housing for the quarrymen.

The circuit is also used for a well established fell race in April, while the gruelling Three Peaks cyclo-cross race also visits the three summits in the course of a longer 38-mile route on the last Sunday in September. Participants in both the running and cycling race regularly achieve winning times of around three hours, and sometimes both races in the year are won by the same competitor.

\r\n
\r\nThe hamlet is in close proximity to Ingleborough, and on the other Whernside – two of the famous Three Peaks of Yorkshire.
\r\nIn the area are several potholes, the best known being Great Douk Cave & Gaping Gill.
\r\n
\r\nThe 17th century church of St Leonard, whose tiny interior measures only 48' x 22', hides in a wooded dell in the hamlet of Chapel-le-Dale in the Yorkshire Dales. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the church is a Dent fossilised-marble plaque. It is in memory of the men who died during the construction of the scenic Settle\/Carlisle railway, which is 72 miles in length and was almost entirely hand-built with a labour force of 6,000 men.
\r\n
\r\nIt was at Ribblehead that shanty towns grew to accommodate workers and their families whilst the line was being constructed from 1869-76. A large number of men, women and children died through epidemics and illnesses caused by the harsh living conditions and these poor souls were also buried at Chapel-le-Dale in unmarked graves. The omission of a memorial for them was put to rights at the Millennium when one was erected in the graveyard.
\r\n
\r\n A chapel of ease is recorded in Chapel le Dale from the late 16th century when it was known as the ‘chaple of Wiersdale’. By the 18th century it was known as the chapel of Ingleton Fells or Fell Chapel. The dedication to St Leonard didn’t come about until the 1940s when a supposed ancient dedication was found in a 16th century document. It later turned out to have been referring to the parish church in Ingleton.
\r\n
\r\nThe present building mostly dates to the late 17th century although some parts may be older. There are 18th century alterations and it was restored in 1869. It is built from squared limestone rubble coated with ‘slobbered’ (thickly applied) lime mortar. It has stone dressings and a stone slate roof. Inside there is a mid-17th century wooden altar rail. A white marble memorial on the west wall of the nave reads: “To the memory of those who through accidents lost their lives, in constructing the railway works, between Settle, and Dent Head. This tablet was erected at the joint expense, of their fellow workmen and the Midland Railway Company 1869 to 1876”. The burial register contains the names of over two hundred people from the railway construction camps, many of them women and children. The churchyard apparently had to be extended when smallpox broke out in the camps.

It is one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the other two being Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. Ingleborough is frequently climbed as part of the Three Peaks Challenge, which is a 24 mile (38 km) circular challenge walk starting and finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale. If done anti-clockwise Ingleborough is the last hill climbed, and ascent is from Chapel-le-Dale.
\r\n
\r\nThe name Ingleborough is derived from the Old English word burh, meaning \"fort on the hill\". On the top of Ingleborough the remains of an old walled enclosure has been discovered inside which foundations of Iron Age huts have been found
\r\n The summit is a broad plateau half a mile in circumference carpeted with dry turf. There is an Ordnance Survey trig point (number S. 5619) at the highest point, near the south-western corner. Just to the north is a well-built windshelter with a view indicator or toposcope built into its centre. Between them is a large cairn. At the point where the Ingleton path reaches the summit rim is an even larger cairn; this, remarkably, is the remains of a battlemented round tower (a hospice), built in 1830. The celebrations on the day of its opening ceremony became so alcoholic, however, that parts of it were thrown down there and then, the rest being destroyed later. Along the northern and eastern edges is the shattered wall of a military camp, believed to be Roman.
\r\n
\r\n The hill fort which covers 15 acres (61,000 m2) and which the defensive wall can still be seen although much robbed for stone, contains the remains of several stone circles. It is now thought that this was in fact Celtic, the Brigantes tribe the largest tribe in Iron Age Britain a collection of smaller units amalgamated into one tribe. The fort was known to the Romans as the Kings fort. It maybe that this was a base for Venutius after his 'divorce' from Cartimandua the Brigantes Queen who was a supporter of the Roman invaders, unlike Venutius who led several rebellions. What we do know is that this fort was used all year, which was unusual for such a location, but we must not forget that at the time of the Romans the climate was much milder, the Romans for example cultivated grapes in Newcastle

It is one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside.
\r\n
\r\nIt lies some 3 km east of Horton in Ribblesdale. The Pennine Way links the summit to the village; the route is around 5 km in length as the Way curves initially to the north before turning east to reach the summit.
\r\n
\r\nThe more direct route that traverses the southern 'nose' of the hill is the route usually taken by the those attempting The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, as the walk is usually (but not exclusively) done in an anti-clockwise direction starting\/finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale. The other main route on the hill heads north from the summit to reach Plover hill before descending to join the bridleway that is Foxup Road.

\r\nThe summit carries a triangulation pillar

\r\nThe name \"Pen-y-ghent\" in the Cumbric language means Hill of the winds.
