My Day out In Ribchester.

Ribchester is a Roman Village located just outside of Blackburn.

It's great for walking your dog (so long as they don't get swept away in the river).

This is a picture i took purely for selfish reasons...for the fact that i find shacks and out houses so interesting. I presume they are mini hotels for chickens!

Central Arch of the Ribchester Bridge. This is a Rebuilt version of the origional. It was rebuilt in the 1770's when a terrible flood washed the main part of the bridge downstream.

I took my dog Millie with me. As you can see she is quite fond of a lovely dip in the river.

This is the footbridge which crosses the river Ribble. It's a lovely structure and if you stand in the middle there is more than a little bit of movement. (especially if you jump up and down)

This is Blakewater Viaduct. This is where Blackburn got it's name. Black-Burn (burn meaning little river).
