Had a walk across The Crimple Valley today - underneath the viaduct from Hornbeam & onto Pannel, near Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Photos after the history...

Crimple Valley Viaduct, also known as Crimple Viaduct and Crimple Beck Viaduct is a railway viaduct which crosses the Crimple Valley between Pannal railway station and Hornbeam Park railway station in North Yorkshire. It is a Grade II* listed structure.[2]
It is 1,875 feet (572 m) long and has 31 arches, each of 52-foot (16 m) span,[3] which reach a maximum height of 110 feet (34 m) above the Crimple Valley.
It was completed in 1848[4] to designs by George Hudson for the York and North Midland Railway company and built of rusticated grit stone ashlar. The contractor was James Bray.[5]
