One of the country's most beautiful, ornate viaducts, the Ouse Valley Viaduct is still in use today, carrying trains between London and Brighton. It has 37 spans and is a Grade II-listed structure, completed in 1842. It's easy to enjoy some fantastic views of the viaduct, thanks to nearby footpaths, including the Ouse Valley Way.

Stunning architecture of a very cool Victorian viaduct built in 1842 and one of the most ornate bridge like structures in the UK. The classic standing in the archway infinity shots you can get are really cool but be prepared for a bit a queue to take them. A really busy place for a good reason.

One of the finest sights on the railway line between London and Brighton, the Ouse Valley Viaduct is an excellent example of Victorian civil engineering.
