Mosedale Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Matterdale, England
The stone railway viaduct spans 420 feet across Mosedale Beck with 12 arches constructed using local materials from the surrounding region.
Built in 1862 for the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway, the viaduct operated until 1972 and expanded from single to double track in 1900.
The structure represents a milestone in Victorian railway engineering, demonstrating the technological capabilities of 19th-century British infrastructure development.
Located between the villages of Matterdale and Threlkeld, the viaduct offers access points for visitors interested in railway architecture and engineering.
Despite plans for demolition in 1997, the British Rail Property Board preserved the structure due to potential railway reopening proposals.
