Although the remains of old quarry workings dot the sides of nearby fells, this village is one of the most inspiring in the Dales.
 

It lies beside the famous Settle-Carlisle railway line and is overshadowed by the so-called Three Peaks of Whernside, Pen-y Ghent and Ingleborough while huge potholes such as Hunt Pot and Hull Pot lurk menacingly beneath the landscape.



It’s no wonder that geologists are drawn here to study local rock formations.

One of the biggest local attractions, however, is man made - the spectacular Ribblehead Viaduct has 24 arches and rises more than 160 feet.
