From Settle, take the main B6479 north, signposted Horton-in-Ribblesdale and continue through Langcliffe until you come to a left turn marked Helwith Bridge.

It is possible to park at the field entrance just as you turn onto the road into Helwith bridge, and this has parking for 4 to 5 cars. If this is full, there is also a lay-by on the main B6479 which again would hold a good number of cars. If you wish to do the east hill shot, then parking right at the end of this lay-by should keep your car out of the shot - bear this in mind when parking.
Parking for the afternoon viaduct shot is achieved, by driving past the bridge and pub and taking the first right which takes you to the quarry. You should see the viaduct, and just before this is a field entrance with room to park one car. You will block the entrance to the field, but as you will not be far from your car to take the shot, this should not be a problem.

The nearest railway station is Horton-in-Ribblesdale, but that would entail about an hour walk to get to this location. Dalesbus operate the 581 bus which runs between Settle and Horton-in-Ribblesdale along the B6479, and a kindly bus driver may stop at Helwith Bridge. This bus runs 6 days a week, at roughly 1 and half hourly intervals.

There are no amenities at the location but over the bridge there is a pub, called The Helwith Bridge, and the food pub in Austwick, called The Game Cock Inn is very highly rated (you will have to book for evening meal).
Both of these pubs also have accommodation.

There are a variety of views to be had at this location, with the main two being the southbound and northbound shots from the east side of the road/rail bridge. Both are best in the morning, as the trees on the west side of the bridge ruin that shot.

There are a couple of alternatives.
To the east the land rises sharply to Overdale and it is possible to take a side on morning shot of both north and southbound traffic from either the bridle path or two fields to the north of this.
Another shot to be had in the morning is found by following the footpath through the field to where it crosses the wall. Once over the first wall, walk between the walls to the river, here there might be nettles and slightly boggy ground, but it will bring you a side on view of the viaduct over the infant river Ribble with the quarry in the background.
A similar afternoon shot is available on the over side of this viaduct.
