Crimple Valley Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Harrogate, England.

The Crimple Valley Viaduct extends 571 meters across the valley with 31 stone arches, each measuring 16 meters in width and reaching 34 meters in height.

The York and North Midland Railway Company commissioned the construction of this railway viaduct, which opened in 1848 as part of the regional transportation expansion.

The Grade II* listed structure stands as a representation of Victorian engineering excellence, demonstrating the industrial capabilities of nineteenth-century British railway construction.

Visitors can observe the viaduct from multiple walking paths along Crimple Beck, with convenient access points from both Pannal and Follifoot villages.

The sharp curve in the track on the southern section requires trains to reduce speed, creating distinct mechanical sounds as they pass over the structure.
