About Fencing in Settle

Settle in North Yorkshire sits at the start of the Settle to Carlisle railway line, one of the great engineering achievements of the Victorian age, built almost entirely by hand between 1869 and 1876 by around 6,000 navvies over seven years, making it the last main line in Britain constructed using manual labour. The line was built to carry goods from industrial Leeds up to the Scottish border, and its construction required 22 viaducts and 14 tunnels, including the Ribblehead Viaduct, whose 24 soaring arches remain one of the most photographed pieces of railway engineering in the country. From Settle the line climbs steadily into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, threading between the Three Peaks of Pen y ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, and though the threat of closure loomed over the route for much of the later 20th century, it survives today as a working goods, commuter and tourist line.
