"Arthington Viaduct." Photography art prints and posters by Colin Metcalf

Description:

Looking across Wharfedale from Almcliff Crag, Arthington Viaduct crosses the valley bottom.

Arthington Viaduct, built 1846, carries the Harrogate-Leeds railway line from North Yorkshire across the River Wharfe into West Yorkshire. The viaduct, for the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, was engineered by Thomas Granger and built by James Bray. It was 1510 feet long, had 21 arches and required over 50,000 tons of stone to construct.

Almscliff Crag is a Millstone Grit outcrop at the top of a small hill near the village of North Rigton, between Leeds and Harrogate in West Yorkshire, England. The crag was formed due to the softer adjacent strata of shale and mudstone eroding at a faster rate than the hard wearing millstone. The crag is one of the best climbing locations in the area. Some classic climbs include Parsons' Chimney, Black Wall Eliminate, and Wall of Horrors.
