Meldon Iron Viaduct. One time railway viaduct , now the Granite Cycle track. One of only two of its kind constructed in the UK.


Meldon Viaduct carried the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) across the West Okement River at Meldon (near Okehampton) on Dartmoor in Devon, South West England. The truss bridge, which was constructed from wrought iron and cast iron not stone or brick arches, was built under the direction of the LSWR's chief engineer, WR Galbraith.
