The old Clydach railway viaduct

The old  Clydach railway viaduct
Once upon a time the 'Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway' used to run over this. Known as 'The Heads of the Valley line' it operated between 1860 and 1958. As opposed to many other local lines in this area, this one carried passengers from Abergavenny to Merthyr. In 1866 it was acquired by the L&NWR. See PiPs one of which shows a nearby tunnel to the old Clydach station. This old track is now a liner cycle & walking track.

Your main shot is hauntingly beautiful Herb. I remember your second PiP very well....my kind of shot :-) I wouldn't dare hop over the fence in your first PiP!

All the best, Rosa.

What a great find Herb............this old railway viaduct looks to be in pretty good condition despite its age and the fact that nature is slowly working to take it over. The detail you've captured is spot on!

I like the two PiPs as well, which are both superb "detail" shots.

Always good to read your reviews of my postings Keith. A fascinating spot for sure with this viaduct too. glad you liked the detail. I must admit this viaduct looks like one that time forgot.
