Arten Gill Viaduct

11 arches, 117 ft high, 220 yards long.
Arten Gill Viaduct is built of massive blocks of Dent ‘marble’, from the now-disused quarries nearby. This stone was popular for use in ornamental masonry and was remarkable for its wealth of fossils.
The viaduct carries the Settle to Carlisle line over Arten Gill Beck.
