The railway bridges round there are really handsome. I particularly like the road swooping beneath Wansbeck Viaduct.

Here are a couple from North Yorkshire, though. Firstly, Ingleton Viaduct:



And secondly - well, if you have to ask...

Does the sun EVER shine on Ribblehead viaduct?  I drove many miles to see it, my photos are of unremitting murk...

It's the same in my experience - that's the brightest it's ever been down there when I've passed.

We camped wild by Ribblehead Viaduct on a shoestring CTC holiday in 1990 or thereabouts.
I have a slide of the campsite in glorious evening sunshine.

The sun shone there once upon a time.
In the last millennium!

Rowten Cave.  No lid, no nuffink.  Just walk straight in, and it's above head height within a few yards.  Even Wainwright says it's dead easy.

Quite a few parts to this one.  It's the recent replacement of a bridge across the Severn between the mine villages of Highley & Alveley, which was originally a ropeway.
