Rising proudly above the rocky gorge of Hawthorn Dene, this magnificent red-brick viaduct is a marvel of Victorian engineering. Built in the 19th century to carry trains along the Durham Coast Line, the viaduct’s soaring arches stand over 120 feet above the wooded valley floor, blending seamlessly into the rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape. Captured here with a train crossing its span and the perfect circular reflection mirrored in the still waters below, the photograph offers a striking balance of nature and industry, history and motion.
An evocative piece for lovers of railway heritage, dramatic architecture, or the tranquil scenery of County Durham.
