Twizel Viaduct


Twizel Viaduct was built between 1846 and 1849 by the Newcastle & Berwick Railway, to carry the Tweedmouth to Kelso railway branch line over the River Till at Twizell in Northumberland. The bridge, also known as St Cuthbert's Viaduct, has six arches, and measures 136 yards between its abutments. The first train crossed the viaduct on the 27th July, 1849. The last passenger service on the line ran in June 1964 and the last goods train in March 1965.[1] After the railway closed the track was removed and some of the line now forms a footpath. In 2005 the County Council re-opened the viaduct as a cross-river footpath.[2] The viaduct is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
