Eskmeals Viaduct

About

Eskmeals Viaduct is a railway bridge spanning the River Esk near Ravenglass in Cumbria, England. Although the line opened in 1850, the current viaduct dates from 1868 and has stone piers. The previous viaduct was made entirely of timber and it caught fire two weeks before the line opened, being partially destroyed. The modern viaduct carries the Cumbrian Coast Line and has been renovated at least three times; first in the 1920s, and twice in the 2020s.
