near to Cefn-Coed-y-Cymmer, Merthyr Tydfil/Merthyr Tudful, Great Britain
Cefn Coed Viaduct, Merthyr Tydfil
The Cefn Coed Viaduct was built in 1866 to carry the Brecon and Merthyr Railway Link
across the river Taff at Pontycapel.
This view is from the south end of the viaduct, looking north west.
Built by Messrs. Savel and Ward at a cost of £25, 000, it is the third largest viaduct in Wales. The viaduct consists of 15 openings, each one 39 feet 9 inches, a length of 725ft. and a maximum height of 115ft.
The viaduct's main point of architectural interest is the fact that it was built on a curve - as highlighted in this view.
