Penallt Viaduct
Introduction Penallt Viaduct, as seen from Lower Redbrook'''Penallt Viaduct''' is a viaduct that formerly carried the Wye Valley Railway over the River Wye, which at this location forms the border between England (Gloucestershire) and Wales (Monmouthshire). The  Wye Valley Railway opened on 1 November 1876.The viaduct is a single-track curved structure of five girder spans supported on four pairs of cast iron columns, located between  and  stations. Passenger services ceased on the railway in 1959 and it closed to freight in January 1964.The viaduct is still open to carry a public footpath, attached to the upstream girders of the viaduct, over the Wye between the villages of Redbrook and Penallt.The footbridge was jointly provided by the pre-1974 Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire County Councils who agreed in 1953 to pay for the construction of the footbridge attached to the viaduct.
