This is a cast and wrought iron truss viaduct that is 535 feet long and rises 151 feet above the valley. It opened in 1874 and was doubled in 1878. The line closed to passengers in 1968 and was used afterwards for shunting freight trains associated with Meldon Quarry. The lines were lifted in 1990 and the viaduct was refurbished in 1996 as part of the Granite Way. It has been mooted as part of an alternative route to the seafront railway at Dawlish but it is claimed the viaduct would need replacing to carry modern traffic.
