Description
Hugh's Crag Viaduct is a railway viaduct built in 1846 by John Locke for the Lancaster & Carlisle Railway. It is constructed from quarry-faced red sandstone ashlar and features a high structure with five segmental arches and a solid parapet. Originally named Clifton Viaduct when it was completed, it was highlighted in John Steel's 1847 publication, "Guide to the Lancaster & Carlisle Railway," as one of the engineering achievements of the line. The viaduct is located partly within the boundaries of Yanwath and Eamont Bridge civil parish.
