Glendun Viaduct (known locally as “the Big Bridge”) spans the River Dun in the centre of the glen and is regarded by some as one of the finest buildings of its kind in the British Isles. It was built over a period of five years from 1834 to 1839 (http://www.ballycastle.info/places/Glendun/dunviaduct.htm more detailed information). One of the three arches spans the river and another the Glendun Road.
