The Ribblehead Viaduct - Yorkshire (near
The Peak District)
The
Settle-Carlisle railway line one of the most
beautiful in England features a series of
spectacular viaducts - none more famous than the Ribblehead, with its twenty four arches, a hundred
feet high. Steam trains still run on this line for
tourists.
|
|
The Peak District forms the southern end of
the Pennines and much of the area is uplands
above 1,000 feet (300 m), with a high point
on Kinder Scout of 2,087 feet (636 m).
Despite its name, the landscape lacks sharp
peaks, being characterised by rounded hills
and gritstone escarpments (the "edges"). The
area is surrounded by major conurbations,
including Huddersfield, Manchester,
Sheffield, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent.
The National Park covers 555 square miles
(1,438 km?) of Derbyshire, Staffordshire,
Cheshire, Greater Manchester and South and
West Yorkshire, including the majority of
the area commonly referred to as the Peak.
The Park boundaries were drawn to exclude
large built-up areas and industrial sites
from the park; in particular, the town of
Buxton and the adjacent quarries are located
at the end of the Peak Dale corridor,
surrounded on three sides by the Park. The
town of Bakewell and numerous villages are,
however, included within the boundaries, as
is much of the (non-industrial) west of
Sheffield. As of 2006, it is the fourth
largest National Park in England and Wales.
As always in Britain, the designation
"National Park" means that there are
planning restrictions to protect the area
from inappropriate development, and a Park
Authority to look after it - but does not
imply that the land is owned by the
government, or is uninhabited.
12% of the Peak District National Park is
owned by the National Trust, a charity which
aims to conserve historic and natural
landscapes. It does not receive government
funding. The three Trust estates (High Peak,
South Peak and Longshaw) include the
ecologically or geologically significant
areas of Bleaklow, Derwent Edge, Hope
Woodlands, Kinder Scout, Leek and Manifold,
Mam Tor, Dovedale, Milldale and Winnats. The
Peak District National Park Authority
directly owns around 5%, and other major
landowners include several water companies.
