Description
The disused railway viaduct, built around 1885, is located 200 metres north-east of Edlingham Castle. It is constructed of snecked stone, with the lower part of the pier between sections made of heavy roughly-squared stone. The viaduct features rock-faced dressings and parapets, as well as rock-faced-and-margined voussoirs, with brick soffits in the arches. The south elevation displays three round arches on one side and two on the other, supported by tall tapering piers. There are reinforcing ties above the arches and paired pilasters at both ends, along with a broad pier between sections. A band runs below the parapet, which has chamfered coping.
This structure was part of the North Eastern Railway's Alnwick to Coldstream (Cornhill) branch, built under the Alnwick and Cornhill Act of May 1882, and it was opened in 1887. The viaduct also holds landscape value.
