Stone railway viaduct stretching across a lush green valley with rolling hills in the background.
Dent Head Viaduct was constructed between 1869 and 1875. It sits just south of Arten Gill Viaduct and north of Blea Moor Tunnel, forming part of one of the most challenging sections of the Settle–Carlisle.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Settle-Carlisle railway. Tucked away in the stunning landscape of Dentdale, Dent Head Viaduct is one of the line’s most spectacular feats of engineering!

A passenger train arrives at a small rural station at sunrise. A sign on the platform reads “Trains to Leeds,” and a signal box marked “Garsdale” stands beside the tracks under a pastel sky.
Morning, and happy Friday! If you're planning to spend time in the National Park this weekend, please:
🌧 Be weather prepared
🚮 Take all your litter home
🤝 Respect the land. Respect the Community. Respect each other

I took the #Avanti diverted train over the #SettleCarlisle line yesterday from Preston to Carlisle and back. What a treat!

Just had a beautiful, comfortable, unusual, scheduled train journey Preston to Carlisle via #SettleCarlisle and also travelling the normally goods-only Clitheroe-Hellifield section.
A wide stone railway viaduct with multiple arches stretches across a green valley under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, a dirt path runs alongside a stone wall with grassy hills on either side.
Introducing the #SettleCarlisle line:
🚂 Ribblehead Viaduct is the most famous structure on the line
🏞️ The route spans 72 miles from Settle to Carlisle.
🐾 At Garsdale there’s a statue of a collie who stayed by his deceased owner’s side for 11 weeks.

Today I drove up to Hellifield and Giggleswick (don't we have some cool town names?) to see steam loco '60163Tornado' on her first post-overhaul mainline run from Orton Mere to Carnforth Steamtown.

Being paid to go to the seaside once in a while is great but sometimes I get to go on the #SettleCarlisle line from #Ribblehead to #Carlisle for meetings.
