Скачать или смотреть Dent Railway (and Village) - England's highest mainline station

Dent station is England's highest mainline station, standing as it does at 1,150 feet above sea level and providing spectacular views of Dentdale. The station building is in private ownership and after considerable refurbishment undertaken in 2006 is available as a holiday cottage!

Seen first is the village of Dent which is in fact about 4 miles away from the station, which is more in the area of Cowgill in Dentdale. The station is also about ¾ mile uphill (and a very steep climb) – so allow plenty of time if you set off from the village on foot and need to walk back!

Dent station had been unstaffed for about 3 years before the station building was closed in 1970.

In the distance you'll see Dent Head Viaduct on the Settle–Carlisle line. It is the second major viaduct on the line northwards after Ribblehead Viaduct, and is just north of Blea Moor Tunnel at milepost 251, and to the south of Arten Gill Viaduct.
