Meldon Viaduct, Devon

Located in Okehampton, Devon, South West England, England
Victorian viaduct re-opened in 2002 as part of the Granite Way which runs between Okehampton and Lydford in the north west of Dartmoor National Park
Built originally in the 1870s for the railway that ran from London to Plymouth, the line was closed in the 1960s
Meldon Viaduct spans the West Okement River to the north of Meldon Reservoir and Dam
We'd recommend walking, or cycling, a section of the Granite Way to cross the viaduct. We've done this from Okehampton and the car parks at Prewley Moor and Meldon Reservoir and Dam
The views into the West Okement River are superb, especially in Autumn
Dartmoor National Park has many other extraordinary wooded valleys and cleaves to explore. Browse our Top 10 Recommended Valleys in Dartmoor National Park for further inspiration
In the local area, visit the English Heritage's Okehampton Castle and Lydford Castle. Walk the National Trust's Lydford Gorge and Waterfall
If you're into walking, summit Yes Tor and High Willhays. These are the only two mountains in southern England
