The oldest surviving cast-iron railway bridge of its kind in Britain, dating back to 1847. - The last train crossed the viaduct on 27 November 1965, after which the line was closed and the structure fell into disuse. By 1991, its condition had deteriorated so badly that East Yorkshire Borough Council planned to demolish it, estimating costs at £60,000. Thanks to local protests and rail heritage campaigners, the demolition was halted. The viaduct was restored and now forms part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network, preserving its legacy for public enjoyment.

Not much room for pedestrians on this bridge, but there are recesses / alcoves. Both ends of the bridge have traffic lights and one-way traffic alternates. Time your crossing to avoid getting squashed by Yorkshire drivers!

Erected in 1996 by the Carstairs Conservation Trust.

Go into the village and visit the whiskyshop.

Elvington is a cute village centred around the village green, with the Grey Horse Inn a focal point. A 17th-century stone bridge crosses the River Derwent at the east end of the village, connecting it with Sutton Upon Derwent. North West from the village is Elvington Airfield, WW2 bomber station and home of the Yorkshire Air Museum.

This impressive old railway viaduct that spans over the River Derwent is built from beautiful red brick and consists of 15 arches. Once a vital link for the railway connecting York and Market Weighton, this structure stands as the largest remaining remnant of that historic railway line. Today, it has transformed into a tranquil and traffic-free crossing, offering a picturesque vantage point to admire the waterway below.
