Whalley Viaduct
Whalley, Clitheroe, BB7 9TW · Blackburn & Burnley
A spectacular Grade II listed railway viaduct of 48 round red-and-blue brick arches, opened in 1850 for the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway. It strides across the valley close to the northwest gateway of Whalley Abbey, making a striking backdrop to a village walk. Great for a photo stop combined with a wander around Whalley.
Spark Hub tip: The viaduct passes right by the northwest gateway of Whalley Abbey, so the two are easy to combine on foot.
