Cemaes in a small fishing village on the north coast of Anglesey. This lovely little village is a great spot for crab fishing from the dock wall. I love this picture post card view
Botallack Mine, owned by the National Trust is an old tin mine, made famous by the Poldark TV series. The mine heads that we see today date back to the middle of the 1800's, however it is believed that mining activity existed on this site as far back as the Roman Empire. The mine shafts descend diagonally as far as half a mile under the sea. Today, the site is part of a UNESCO world heritage site, showing its cultural significance.
The Ribblehead Viaduct, on the Settle-Carlisle railway line is a classic example of how beautiful architecture can really add to a landscape. The 24 enormous stone arches span the Batty Moss valley at Ribblehead, providing both valuable transport links but also a visual link, allowing the eye to wander around the scene. Built between 1870 and 1874, the Ribblehead Viaduct is now a Grade II listed structure. It shouldn't be forgotten the toll that the construction of Ribblehead Viaduct had. 100's of Navvies lost their life, either as a direct result of the construction or due to the outbreak of disease in the supporting settlements.
