Penallt Viaduct, Grade II listed railway bridge and footbridge in Monmouthshire, England.

The Penallt Viaduct spans the River Wye with five girder spans supported by four pairs of cast iron columns in a curved configuration.

The structure opened in 1876 as part of the Wye Valley Railway line, connecting communities between Redbrook and Penallt until passenger services ended in 1959.

The viaduct represents the engineering capabilities of the Victorian era, highlighting the industrial development that connected England and Wales across the River Wye.

The footpath attached to the upstream girders provides a crossing point between Redbrook and Penallt villages for pedestrians exploring the Wye Valley.

Located at an elevation of 10.1 meters, this red sandstone structure marks the border between Gloucestershire, England and Monmouthshire, Wales.
