Langley Viaduct is a hidden gem tucked away in the quiet pastures of Langleydale, Teesdale. Built in the 1860s for the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway, this eleven-arch stone viaduct carried trains high above the River Gaunless. Disused since the 1960s and now slowly reclaimed by nature, it stands as a lasting monument to the engineering boldness of the Victorian railway era.
Captured from above, the viaduct stretches gracefully across the lush green landscape, casting long arched shadows that ripple across the fields below. The trackbed, now overgrown with wildflowers and grasses, adds to its forgotten charm. With soft afternoon light and dramatic clouds rolling in, this aerial image perfectly captures the blend of history, decay, and beauty that defines this forgotten piece of Teesdale’s railway heritage.
