The River Ribble is a river that runs through North Yorkshire and Lancashire, in the North of England. / The Ribble begins at the confluence of the Gayle Beck and Cam Beck near the famous viaduct at Ribblehead, in the shadow of the Yorkshire three peaks. / It flows through Settle, Clitheroe and Preston, before emptying into the Irish Sea between Lytham St. Annes and Southport, a length of 75 miles.

Pendle Witch Country, in the Lancashire Pennines, is an area lying between (but also including) the north western edge of Bronte Country and the Ribble Valley, to the north and north east of which are Bowland, and the south western Yorkshire Dales respectively. The area is dominated by the dark brooding mass of Pendle Hill (shown above) and made famous (nay infamous) for its grim and fiendish association with the “Witches of Pendle”...

This is a great bridge, temperature below freezing and the road leads straight into Little Town near Ribchester, in Lancashire. This is the place I had my swan encounter

Taken with my new Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 0.25 seconds, ISO100, edited in Photoshop First shot using my new Canon 50D, not as sharp as I would like because I had to hand hold. Nestling under the bulk of Pendle Hill this is one of the loveliest villages in Lancashire, quiet and unspoiled with a gurgling brook running past the village green and stone-built cottages. The church tower is a splendid example of 15th century architecture. Successive generations of the Assheton family have lived at Downham Hall since 1558; the present squire is Lord Clitheroe of Downham. A large stone by the entrance to Downham Hall is said to mark the final resting place of two legionnaires who died on the Roman road during trouble with the Brigantes. The village was used as a location for the famous film Whistle Down the Wind and more recently the popular BBC drama Born and Bred was filmed here. It also has associations with Old Mother Demdike and other infamous Lancashire witches.
Image of the River Ribble flowing over the man made weir at Settle in North Yorkshire. Nikon D300 – 17.02.2009
Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 17mm, F11, shutter speed 1/30 second, ISO100, tweaked in Photoshop I went for a drive in the countryside near where I use to live, this shot was taken half way up Pendle Hill in the wonderful Ribble Valley. Pendle Hill is located in the north-east of Lancashire, England, near the towns of Burnley, Nelson, Colne, Clitheroe and Padiham. Its summit is 557 metres (1,827 ft) above mean sea level. It gives its name to the Borough of Pendle. It is an isolated hill, separated from the Pennines to the east and the Forest of Bowland to the northwest. It lies to the southwest of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is a detached part of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Please view large!

Whilst Cromwell himself is said to have passed over the bridge, it is more than likely that the bulk of his army used the ford a few yards upstream (and between Cromwell’s bridge and the present road bridge). Although the bridge appears to be in an advanced state of decay, it is clear that the bridge never had any parapets, and is probably still close to its original state.

On one day this year 2000 people were allowed to walk along the railway tracks of the Ribble Viaduct / Ribblehead Viaduct is a railway viaduct across the valley of the River Ribble in North Yorkshire, northern England. It 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 just to the south of the viaduct. Designed by the engineer John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. It 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. The 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.

They also have a wonderful cafe that overlooks very busy bird feeders… http://www.wildboarpark.co.uk/index2.html
The Ribble Viaduct is 104 feet (32 m) high, 440 yards (402 m) long and has 24 arches. It is located at the foot of the mountain of Whernside in Cumbria. Designed by the engineer John Sydney Crossley, work started on 12 October 1870 and was completed in 1874. / / During the building, which involved over 2000 Navvies as well as Women and Children, so many deaths occured from a combination of accidents, fights, and smallpox outbreaks, that the churchyard at nearby Chapel-le-Dale had to be extended (paid for by the railway) to accomodate the burials. There is a memorial in that churchyard dedicated to all those who died. / / On Sunday 22nd July 2007, Network Rail allowed enthusiasts to walk across the viaduct as it had been closed for ongoing maintenance, as was due to re-open the following day. This had never been allowed before, nor is it likely to happen again. A truely historic occassion which we were pleased to be able to take part in. / / © photogenique (dave peddie): using this image for any purpose and in any way, without prior permission, may lead to legal action. / /
