View of Bennerley Viaduct

Highlight • Historical Site

This giant iron bridge in the Erewash Valley is a spectacular remnant of the bygone age of steam and coal. It is the longest wrought iron Victorian viaduct in the country, and it is still an impressive structure even in the modern era. Originally built in 1878, it was given a new lease of life in 2022 after it was open to hiking and cycling traffic. From this viewing point, you can see it in all its glory.
