Lambley Viaduct, one of Northumberland’s hidden secrets, is a good example of Victorian engineering. Oh, there are also many incredible photos opportunities.
Not far from the western edge of Northumberland and only a few miles from Hadrian’s wall, you will find Lambley’s viaduct; A piece of Victorian engineering that saw the railway line from Alston to stop crossing the South Tyne river.
In 2020, after Covid-19 restrictions were built, we got up on a road trip that saw us cross three different counties to see the Lambley viaduct and some other places too. I had seen a photo of the Viaduct on Instagram (which you use mainly for research these days, not much more) and I quickly added it to my list of places to visit.
Lambley Viaduct
Lamboley’s viaduct is more than 260 meters long and around 33 meters high with nine beautiful stone arches that seem to appear out of nowhere in this quiet corner of Northumberland. The viaduct was built to take the one -way railroad through the South Tyne River (which finally forms the Tyne River next to the North Tyne River) and presumably was also built to look very impressive. The railroad closed in 1976, but fortunately for us we can still cross the viaduct and admire its beauty from below.
The cure NLAND250 The road trip travels to 250 miles through Northumberland and has Lambley viaducts, so we hope more people can experience this hidden secret.
One thing I will never forget about my trip to the viaduct is that I dropped my camera with my fujifilm lens of 16 mm f/1.4 taking all the strength of the impact. While it was initially theft, fortunately, later turned out that the damage was only cosmetic and I can still use the lens today.
Key information
Parking
Parking in the Lambley viaduct is relatively easy to arrive and there is also more than one option. We park in the Coanwood parking (Ne49 0QT) where there is only room for about four cars, but it is a fast walk to the viaduct. The official parking is called ‘Lambley Viaduct South Tyne Trail Car Parking’ in Google Maps (NE49 0qu). Both are free.
Lambley’s viaduct walk
From any parking lot, it will be directly on the old road of the railway line to walk to the viaduct. First we go through the top of the viaduct to complete a circuit; There is a metal bridge that crosses the river back before you have a little climb to the road. We probably spend a maximum of a maximum in the viaduct, including the walk and taking the views from the riverbank.
For those who like a slightly longer walk, you must seek to complete the Lambley viaduct in the circulation of Featherstone Castle, which is approximately 6.4 miles. For more information, see the National Trust website.
