Knaresborough Viaduct crosses the River Nidd allowing the Harrogate train line to reach Knaresborough.

A viaduct was built here in 1848 but as it was almost finished, it dramatically collapsed. So much stone and lime went into the river that thousands of fish died from poisoning.

This viaduct was opened in 1854 using some of the stone recovered from its collapsed predecessor. It is a grade II listed structure.
