| The narrow main street through the village of Ingleton. |
 |
| The lower part of the village is dominated by the impressive, disused brick-arch railway viaduct, which is a Grade II listed structure. |
 |
| The 11-arched viaduct carried the railway over the Greta valley, with houses below. The line closed to passengers in January 1954, although freight continued to use the line for a further three months. |
 |
| The lower part of the village is off to the left. The main street and higher part is off to the right. |
 |
| A memorial. |
 |
| Village war memorial in front of the Church. The present Church dates back to 1886, although parts of it go back much further than that, |
 |
| A building that was formerly home to the Literary Institute. |
 |
| A row of old cottages. Look how small the doors and windows are. |
 |
| The road from the Hawes and Ribblehead direction (left), thus avoiding the narrow streets of the village. Looking towards Lancaster. |
 |
| It's not every day you pass a peacock! |
 |
| After this photo was taken the peacock hopped over a wall into the pub car park. Probably off for a drink. |

What a nice place, we often saw the road sign for Ingleton as we sped along the A65 to the lakes and I always meant to detour and have a look.
