Bridges on your local rides.

Some from the MNPR.

Clifton

Rakewood

Meccano

Bennerley Viaduct – now owned by Sustrans, who seem at a bit of a loss what to do with it!

Victoria Viaduct, can be ridden under or over. Over is a bit of a pig though as it has all the ballast from the rail line still in place.

Hylton Viaduct

QA Bridge

Wearmouth Bridge

There’s other little footbridges but these are the usual suspects.

Loves this post. Did a ride about 10 years ago from Leeds to Ilkley taking in all the bridges and viaducts we could think of, great day.

Will have to dig out the film and scan it one day.

[/url]Essex Bridge, Shugborough Hall by canong2fan[/url], on Flickr[/img]

Essex bridge near Shugborough. Great little cafe on the canal next to it too.

My favourite

I occasionally pop by this one as well.

It’s not a bridge, it’s an entrance to what was part of the country estate with a lake beside it and it’s not local to me either. I both walked and cycled through it, gorgeous landmark in a lovely part of England.

Both on my commute

Cheeky stuff in this one

Martin, is your first one just outside Austwick?

Need to be quite far away to get all of said bridge in frame. Often go across on my road bike, as the riding on the south bank is lovely. If you listen carefully you can sometimes make out the faint sound of banjo’s, drifting across the river 🙂

We need to include this one on one of our summer mnpr rides. Not far from the second one you posted HtS

These are mainly from where I go running, although there is a little bit of riding round there too.

The Tay road bridge

View up the river to the railway bridge

View down the river and out to sea

Do photos have to be held online to post here or can u do it direct from the gallery on your phone??

Held online ,they are web links

Love these sort of threads…

The Armsgrove Viaduct, Wayoh Reservoir

Railway bridge at Turton Tower

A bridge that no longer crosses anything or goes from anywhere to anywhere! One from our C2C ride in 2011..

I’ve always wanted to get someone sitting in each of the arches of that bridge for a photo…

Another one from my local runs. Not technically a bridge.

Never had the bottle / necessary skills to try and ride across

I’m sure that you would manage it easily mate. I’ll just get me camera and pop down and you could have a go this afternoon? 😆

🙂

By the way I’ve found your zesty Craig. Looks like you left it up at Wayoh all along. 😉

Love the Meccano bridge. I must take a trip out to it.

The railway bridge at the top of Swanwick over the river Hamble, my local…

Martin, is your first one just outside Austwick?

Yes, that’s the one. I love clapper bridges.

Someone has somehow taken a chunk out of this one. Hopefully I won’t end up in the beck next time I try to ride it.

Maxtorque I thought that pic looked familiar thats a landing stage on the River Nene at Washlands FSR.

Been over on this morning’s road ride:

Regularly used to get over on road bikes to Wales and the Wye Valley:

Aquaduct on the canal towpath between Bath and Bradford-on-Avon

me on the Austwick bridge many years ago.

Some lovely bridges, that castle one is crazy. There was a thread about viaducts a while back…

My oh on the a bridge over the A689 on the way to Thorpe Thewles for a cup of tea and a cream scone, we just call it the ‘lovely bridge’ 😳

and the tea and cream scone-

Om nom nom 😀

This one is probably known by a fair number of STWers.

These on various options on my commute 🙂

Cardiff Bay barrage:

Taff Trail ‘footbridge’:

Grew up 500 yds from this one, still ride over it regularly:

Usually on the way to crossing this one at some point:

Ribblehed viaduct eh ?
Spent possibly the most uncomfortable night in a tent about 50 metres from the north eastern corner of that in 1975, touring the Dales with a mate on 5 speed steel framed bikes. I think My mates was a Raleigh and mine had come from Currys, of all places, it had been a present for passing my 11 plus. We were 15 when we did that trip, in the days when it was safe to play out !
Home was 200 odd miles away and we had taken the bikes by train to Settle. Great times.

Under the A303 near Wylye..

Climbed up on this one a couple of times as a kid. All fenced off now! Used to be part of a viaduct across Stour Meadows, Blandford, on the Somerset and Dorset Railway.

Also used to be quite interested in that ‘test’ bridge on the fireroad climb at Glentress, the Stress Laminated Timber Arch Bridge.
