Bennerley Viaduct

Why go

The pleasure here is both above and below: cross the deck for the valley outlook, then inspect the lattice of ironwork from the surrounding paths. Reusing the railway structure as a walking and cycling route makes its scale easy to appreciate. This is an exposed outdoor stop, best combined with a longer Erewash Valley outing in settled weather.

What to look for

• The viaduct’s structure forms a lattice of wrought iron.
• A public walking and cycling route crosses the deck.
• The deck gives views across the Erewash Valley.

Useful to know

• Check approach routes and restrictions before setting out.
• Allow time to view the ironwork from below as well as crossing the deck.
