Oh, please do

Today I stopped and sat (and lay on my belly to peep over the edge and watch the water below) on a bridge, with a view on another bridge, under a viaduct. Bonus points for the well timed train passing overhead. No pics because it deserves much better that the crappy camera phone and anyway others have already posted splendid photos of the spot, but in the spring sunshine it was quite possibly the most perfect place in the world to be. When I cark it, pls to be scattering my remains there?

Somewhere in the vicinity of Bettisfield on the Shropshire Union Canal, where I and jogler of this parish did a bit of comedy off-roading on mildly inappropriate (or in his case, inappropriately loaded) bikes at the weekend.

This bridge at the bottom of Zell am See's lake looks a bit rickety.

Another Tees bridge. Well, technically, the first two are on Langdon Beck I think.

Oh, and another one.

Looks grand up there, LG. Did you go up to Cow Green?

LindaG · « **Reply #583 on:** 06 April, 2012, 11:56:53 am »

No. Just round the corner though, over Cronkley Fell, on the Green Trod, bits of Pennine Way. Pub. We're doing Cow Green next time. It was flippin' lovely.

Can I put new photos of the same bridges plz?
The road from the railway:

The railway from a bit further along the railway:

More (of a different bridge) to follow tomorrow if it's light-enough / still light when I go over it.

Heres one on the way to the Beinn An Tuirc windfarm. Went last week to make a delivery, although wasnt expecting to go on a road like this

Padstow to Wadebridge by road is 8 hilly miles; by bike on the Camel trail (over this bridge) is a flat 5.
No wonder the train used to take only 10 minutes, when the bus now takes 30.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #587 on:** 08 April, 2012, 11:24:09 pm »

But did the train really weigh less than 3 tons?

The Welland Viaduct. Longest in Britain. 82 arches. Phwooar!

clarion · « **Reply #595 on:** 16 April, 2012, 09:59:05 am »

That is an impressively long structure. We travelled over a very long viaduct on our way back to Kings Cross, but it wasn't that one.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #596 on:** 16 April, 2012, 09:59:48 am »

Several interesting canal bridges between Bath and Bradford-on-Avon yesterday, but I didn't get any photos.

Might have to go back next weekend!

Nice pic. We failed to snap that amazing structure on the way back, but got one of a rather shorter bridge in the vicinity that I'll post shortly.

On a minor point of pedantry, it's apparently the longest brick-built viaduct across a valley in Britain. The viaduct on the Deptford/Greenwich line from London Bridge is also brick and about 3 times longer. I wrote "apparently" above as I was under the impression that the Welland Viaduct was the longest of its kind in Europe rather than just Britain, but my google-fu hasn't turned up anything longer, anywhere. Anyone able to comment on the longest in Europe/the World?

So you like bridges?

How about one in your garden!
