Informations supplémentaires:
This view is taken from Lea Yeat Brow above the small village (or hamlet) of Cowgill.looking out over Dentdale. Dentdale is a dale or valley in the north-west of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in Cumbria (historically in Yorkshire), England. The dale is the valley of the River Dee, but takes its name from the village of Dent. Two of the most impressive structures on the Settle and Carlisle railway line, can be seen here - Arten Gill viaduct and Dent Head viaduct. Built between 1850 - 1899, both are scheduled Ancient Monuments and are located between Dent Station and Blea Moor Tunnel. Arten Gill viaduct (in the foreground) is constructed of 'Dent marble' - a dark limestone with high fossil content. It has 11 almost semi-circular segmented arches, which span 13.7m (45 ft) each. At its highest point, it carries the rails at 35.7 m (117 ft) above water level. This viaduct carries the line over Arten Gill Beck. Dent Head viaduct (in the far distance) was built between 1869 and 1875 from massive blocks of Dent marble, and it crosses over the quarry that produced it. It is 30 m (100 ft) high, 182 m long, 10 arches wide and 350 m (1, 150 ft) above sea level.
