Description

The River Ogmore Viaduct is a railway viaduct built with a twin span masonry structure made of coursed and squared rock-faced sandstone. It features arch rings constructed from rusticated voussoirs. The intact parapet consists of four uneven courses, with replaced coping on the upside. The downside of the viaduct has been reduced below the height of the parapet and capped with engineering brick. There are metal railings on both sides and plain sloping wingwalls.

Local climate

River Ogmore Viaduct sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,190 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
