Knaresborough Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Knaresborough, England.

The stone viaduct spans the River Nidd with four arches and three piers, measuring 330 feet in length and featuring castellated walls.

After the first structure collapsed into the River Nidd in 1848, workers completed a new viaduct using stone from Abbey Crags quarry in 1851.

The Grade II listed viaduct reflects Victorian railway engineering and maintains architectural harmony with the medieval Knaresborough Castle through its design.

The viaduct carries the Harrogate railway line, connecting Knaresborough with neighboring towns and providing regular passenger service throughout North Yorkshire.

The center pier of the viaduct stands directly in the River Nidd, creating a distinctive reflection in the water that draws photographers year-round.
