Connel Bridge and Benches

Connel Bridge, Connel, Argyll. This bridge was constructed in 1903 as a single track railway bridge. It also carried a single track road which vehicles were permitted across when not in use by the railway. In 1966 the railway was closed and the bridge is still used by vehicles with a track for cyclists and pedestrians.

Beneath the bridge where the Firth of Lorn falls below the water level of Loch Etive freshwater rapids known as the Falls of Lora are created by the ebb tide.

We have sat here and watched Canoeists endeavour to make their way down the Falls of Lora. What a lovely place to sit. We were staying at a small hotel on Loch Linnhe that year,

Lovely. I'd prefer to see a train on the bridge but great that it has survived and is still used.
HFF Carol. Enjoy the start of a new week.

A great view with the bridge towering over the benches! I didn't know this used to be a combined railway and road bridge- that must have been exciting. HBM and a good week!
