Gaunless Viaduct, Railway viaduct in County Durham, United Kingdom.
The Gaunless Viaduct spans the River Gaunless with four lattice truss spans supported by paired circular brick piers reaching a height of 161 feet.
The railway structure, designed by Thomas Bouch, opened in 1863 as part of the South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway connecting Bishop Auckland to Barnard Castle.
The viaduct represents the industrial development of County Durham, where railways played a central role in connecting communities and supporting coal mining operations.
Visitors can reach the viaduct location through local transportation networks and explore the surrounding trails that offer views of the remaining brick structures.
The construction cost of £15,422 in 1863 delivered a structure that accommodated a double track width, although initially only a single line was installed.
