Pensford Viaduct is a striking former railway bridge across the River Chew. A footpath heads right underneath the 95-foot (29-m) high bridge along the river, giving you a chance to admire the structure. Pensford Viaduct was built in 1874 and is Grade II-listed.

Beautiful Landscape & Walking Route Along River Chew Accesible From Pensford Bridge. Some initial parts of the path gets quite muddy after prior days of rain but can still walk through with boots. Best to walk after few days of dry weather.
