Hewenden Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Wilsden, United Kingdom
The Hewenden Viaduct spans 527 meters with 17 semicircular arches, rising 37 meters above the valley on rock-faced stone piers near Bradford.
Built around 1880 for the Great Northern Railway, this Grade II listed structure connected Bradford to Keighley until its closure in 1963.
The viaduct forms part of the Great Northern Railway Trail, connecting local communities through a network of walking paths in West Yorkshire.
Visitors can access the viaduct deck for walking and cycling, offering views across the surrounding valleys of the Yorkshire countryside.
Engineers had to sink the foundation pillars 18 meters deep due to unstable ground conditions, making it a notable feat of Victorian engineering.
