Arten Gill viaduct, Railway viaduct in Dentdale, England
The Arten Gill railway viaduct extends 220 yards across Artengill Beck with eleven arches, each measuring 45 feet in width and reaching 117 feet above water level.
Construction of the viaduct began in May 1871 as part of the Settle-Carlisle Railway project, requiring over 50,000 tonnes of stone sourced from a quarry beneath the structure.
The structure represents Victorian railway engineering excellence, incorporating local Dent marble, a dark limestone traditionally used for ornamental masonry in the region.
Visitors can observe the viaduct from unclassified roads connecting to route B6255, with Dent Station located nearby for rail transport connections.
The viaduct's foundations extend 55 feet deep into bedrock, with two sets of widened central piers designed to prevent sequential arch collapse.
