The Nidd Gorge was carved out of the sandstone during the last ice age. It has very steep sides and the viaduct was necessary to carry the Leeds and Thirsk railway across the ravine.
The viaduct is no longer in use as the railway was closed in 1967, but future restoration is possible as the local council look to improve transport links.
