| Information | |
The Winterbourne Viaduct, otherwise known as the Huckford Viaduct spans the River Frome just north of Winterbourne Down in Gloucestershire. It was built in 1902 as part of the Wootton Bassett to Patchway railway line. It now forms part of the Badminton line from Bristol Parkway to London Paddington.
The viaduct rises to 100 feet above the river, and is made up of 11 massive brick arches. The Frome Valley Walkway passes through one of these arches.
