Bennerley Viaduct

I haven't been since it's been restored, used to go loads as the three ponds underneath the viaduct were really good for dragonflies. Does it cost anything Steve to go up? Lovely photos as well Steve. BTW I can see Bertie.

Been across it a few times, but only on a train as a young child going on holiday to the east coast from Derby Friargate station.

I spotted Bertie too and a Class 66, Tufty's and Mute Swans. Looks a good walk! 👍

No, it's free Mick. Steep access from the Awsworth side though.

 

You could say that 😁

Went on a guided walk round the ponds once it was a good spot for newts.

A place I must visit and it's only a short way from me.  Thanks for posting.

Hopefully i'll be paying it a visit soon : when the weather is a bit warmer 😀

Its a structure i know rather well. Been under it 1000's of times but i'm yet to explore it from above.

If only i could have gone across there on the rails in its heyday.
