RD20579. Meldon Railway Viaduct, three miles from Okehampton and once on the LSWR West of England main line from London Waterloo to Plymouth. Built in 1874, it is of wrought and cast iron construction and is now a Scheduled Monument.
Sadly, trains can no longer cross the viaduct as it was decided that it had become too weak to carry rail traffic; it is open to walkers and cyclists though, and now forms part of The Granite Way long distance cycle track.
