Impressive viaduct that you can walk across and underneath. Views of the reservoir from the top of the viaduct. The path to get beneath the viaduct, I imagine could get muddy if it’s been raining a lot. I felt the best view of the viaduct was from the path heading down.

Had a Beautiful walk from Goit Waterfall, approaching the viaduct from the woods, going under it before climbing up the banking to walk over it. People with less stamina could simply walk the mile or so from the main road and back. The trail itself is level, mainly tarmac and there are informative boards giving you details of the history.

I visited this landmark recently, on one of the foggiest days in England. Why, I have absolutely no idea. Despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions to the reservoir, the place holds a certain charm. Thick fog limited visibility, but it also created an eerie and strangely beautiful atmosphere, in an already breathtaking landscape. Its easy to see why this magnificently engineered structure is of significant historical interest. However, on the way one thing became very clear, is that finding parking is a challenge. There aren't designated visitor parking anywhere in the area, and roadside parking seems unsafe on Station Road, due to the HGV,s that frequently use the road. If your lucky to find somewhere safe to park, its guaranteed to be worth the journey.
