Fabulous to view from below or to walk along. Nice wander into Whitby itself or all the way to Scarborough. If you check the times the steam train goes underneath.
Amazing views. 20 mins walk from cinder track. Lots of cottages available. Best view in town.
Interesting architectural piece. Perhaps best seen from a distance. Up close you see the incredible amount of red brick used to create this viaduct.
Lovely location, and a great example of Victorian architecture. Would suggest walking along the footpath to the north side of the river for the best view.
Stayed in an Airbnb right next to this viaduct. So peaceful. You can walk to Whitby over the viaduct, which was ideal for us
