Duke's Drive Viaduct, Buxton, Railway viaduct in Buxton, England.
The Duke's Drive Viaduct spans 176 yards in length and features 13 stone arches, each measuring 36 feet across, reaching a height of 94 feet.
Built in 1892 by the London & North Western Railway, this viaduct connected the LNWR line to Ashbourne with the Cromford and High Peak Railway.
The viaduct represents a testament to Victorian engineering methods and stands as a symbol of British industrial development in the late 19th century.
The structure remains operational for mineral trains heading towards Hindlow and Dowlow, maintaining its function in modern transportation infrastructure.
Made entirely of gritstone, this viaduct contains thirteen precisely engineered arches that demonstrate the mathematical precision of Victorian railway construction.
