In this video we take a walk and explore the Conisbrough Viaduct in South Yorkshire. A disused railway viaduct, now an accessible tarmac path.
Built between 1906 and 1909, it was part of the Dearne Valley Railway between Doncaster and Barnsley. it closed in 1966 and has been left ruined, abandoned and in a deteriorating condition for decades before being made accessible to the public around 10 years ago when Sustrans got involved.
Weather aside, we enjoyed the nice view of the River Don and Don Valley below, with view of Conisbrough Castle and the Cadeby Quarries.
The viaduct consists of 21 arches and one lattice girder span over the river. Made of red brick with a blue brick outer layer, it measures 465m long and contains 12million bricks.
If travelling between Doncaster and Sheffield on the train these days, look to your left before you reach Conisbrough and you will get a great view of the old viaduct.
