The viaduct was opened in 1890 on the Plymouth Devonport and South Western Junction Railway's double track line from Plymouth to Lydford. The tracks were lifted after closure in 1968 and the trackbed now forms a section of the National Cycle Network's Route 27, the Devon Coast to Coast route. (From a purely Geograph point of view the 248000 Easting gridline crosses the viaduct around its halfway point so this view is looking into Image too.)
