Travel Guide

Cefn Coed Viaduct, Merthyr Tydfil The Cefn Coed Viaduct was built in 1866 to carry the Brecon and Merthyr Railway Brecon_and_Merthyr_Railway across the river Taff at Pontycapel. This view is from the south end of the viaduct, looking north west. Built by Messrs. Savel and Ward at a cost of £25, 000, it is the third largest viaduct in Wales. The viaduct consists of 15 openings, each one 39 feet 9 inches, a length of 725ft. and a maximum height of 115ft. The viaduct's main point of architectural interest is the fact that it was built on a curve - as highlighted in this view.
