The Cyndhordy Railway Viaduct, an elegant curved structure constructed in 1868, stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess and remains operational to this day.
As a vital segment of the Heart of Wales line, it plays host to occasional nostalgic steam trains taking tourists on scenic journeys from Shrewsbury to Carmarthen or Swansea and back.
This vantage point provides an excellent panorama of the historic arches, complemented by an informative display board to delve into the fascinating history of the bridge.

Cynghordy Railway Viaduct is a very impressive structure if i must say.
Located in a remote part of Wales Llandovery which is just north of the Brecon Beacons. Pictures don't convey the unassuming majesty of this incredible sight. To think it was constructed 150 years ago with men and horsepower is awesome. Such a incredible sight to see!! It was like something out of Harry Potter!
