    Tips

    December 4, 2019

    Cycling

    Spanning 995 feet (303 meters) and 95 feet (29 meters) tall, the Pensford viaduct is impossible to miss when you visit the village. The beautiful disused railway bridge was built in 1874 to carry trains over the Chew Valley. In 1964, the viaduct carried its final train and it began to suffer damage, especially after the Great Flood of 1968.

    In 1984, the viaduct was offered for sale for £1 but no one bought it, probably due to the high maintenance costs. Today, it is owned by the Highways Agency Historical Railways Estate.

    Impressive viaduct set amidst beautiful rolling countryside. The cycle route passes right underneath the arches and is a fabulous section of trail.

    Stunning village, bolstered by a striking viaduct running straight through it. Worth a ride over and will do again to find a cafe when COVID has passed over
