A lovely place for a walk through Scotland woods. Not difficult to walk here and lots of paths to follow. Our dog Stan loved it.
beautiful aqueduct and awesome place for dog walking. beautiful scenery and overall an amazing place.
Its really nice forgotten aqueduct in middle of forest
Actually it’s an old aqueduct rather than viaduct, no longer in use. An impressive Victorian structure, it used to supply much of Leeds with water coming from Eccup Reservoir to a treatment works in Far Headingley, until they eventually closed it in favour of underground pipes. It has a distinct ‘lean’ to it, presumably due to subsidence. It is a grade II listed structure. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.
It's more accessible than I thought.
