Ribblehead Viaduct, located in North Yorkshire, England, is a remarkable feat of Victorian engineering on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. Spanning the scenic Ribble Valley, this iconic structure comprises 24 massive stone arches and stretches 400 meters in length with a height of 32 meters. Completed in 1874, the viaduct was built by a workforce of around 2,300 men, many of whom lived in temporary shanty towns nearby.
