Ouse Valley Viaduct
Located between Haywards Heath and Balcombe, the Ouse Valley Viaduct offers quite a dramatic view. A structural marvel, the viaduct was originally built in 1838 to carry the London-Brighton line over the River Ouse.
It has been estimated that around 11 million bricks were used in construction, with almost 17 million passenger journeys being made across the viaduct every year!
Standing at 29 metres tall, the Viaduct has 37 arches stretching 450 metres across the Ouse Valley and over the River Ouse.

A wonderful capture of this iconic viaduct. Nice light on the pillars too, which shows their structure clearly.
And you got a train crossing it too!!!
Best wishes, HWW, and keep safe!
Love Peter
