The Vikings, the Vikings...

A key attraction of the Ribblehead area of the Ingleborough NNR is its archaeological significance which stretches from the earliest times of human habitation to the present day via the Vikings and the Victorian constructors of the Settle-Carlisle Railway. Some more shots.

The foundations of the gable-end and entrance of a Viking long-house. The foundations of the "long walls" lead away from the camera as low ridges.

Ribblehead Viaduct, testament to the toil of 19th century labourers. Shooting location for Topgear's Jag, Merc, Beemer feature. Can't help thinking that Clarkson didn't quite do the place justice!
