There is something magical about this viaduct.. Even without a spectacular steam train running almost silently atop these arches, this scene just makes you stop and stare. Behind is Whernside and to my left the beginning of Ingleborough mountains. Notice the scale of this from the people at the bottom best seen at full size.

A Pen-y-ghent view

Enjoy this view of Pen-y-gent from high above the Yorkshire Dales village of Langcliffe.
It is the lowest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks at 2,277 feet (694m), the other two peaks being Ingleborough and Whernside. In the foreground we have the familiar lime-stone pavement (flat pieces of lime-stone rock swept clean of surface soil by the weather) that is dotted with trees in some places and somehow manage to grow through the cracks. Just behind the pavement we see the dry-stones walls all too familiar in this part of the world too. Built when woodland around here was scarce to build fences and in any event, built to last, doing the twin jobs of marking out one’s land boundaries and also having the more practical purpose of keeping sheep and cattle from straying.
