Geology and Botany

What a glorious weather day for our walk taking in Ingleborough Quarry;  now a nature reserve full of botanical wonders and an ancient settlement . The sun enhanced the limestone pavement and its features , some of the best in the country, before we descended to Chaoel le Dale . The peaceful historic church there is depicted in a painting by Turner hut we were more interested in the stories of the more famous railway workers buried there. The rich meadows and viaduct views were truly appreciated in our return. Good weather brought many visitors from France, Canada and nearer home to our exhibition and to learn about the railway history at Ribblehead and particularly about the iconic viaduct structure.
