'The three historic listed viaducts owned by the Trust were constructed for the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway for its opening in 1861. After a working life of almost exactly 100 years they were abandoned by British Railways until acquired by the Trust, Smardale Gill in 1989, Podgill in 2000 and Merrygill a few years later. Smardale Gill, in particular, needed extensive restoraton in the early 1990s, the others less so. The Trust also owns a number of lesser structures along the course of the former railway.'

The Northern Viaduct Trust

'Edenbridge was established at a crossing point of the River Eden. The town trail follows the straight line left by the Romans on their London to Lewes route. The town appears first in 12th century church records, and archives show Henry III granted a charter for a weekly market in 1227. The River Eden crossing encouraged settlement and by the 13th century Edenbridge had a population of 300; by 1800 this had only risen to 850; but by 1850 it had expanded to 2,000, partly due to the arrival of one of the first railway lines in England in 1841 – the second being completed in the 1880s. Discover all this heritage and more on an enjoyable amble around the town and its historic buildings.'

'The purpose of the Trail is to improve access to the Elan Valley and its countryside, particularly for the less-able. The trail between Craig Gooch and Pen y Garreg is classed as a bridleway. The rest of the route however is a permissive route agreed by the landowners, namely Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, Radnorshire Wildlife Trust and Powys County Council and does not follow a right of way.' However, the Leaping Stiles Website where this Trail was described could no longer be referenced. So I have referenced an alternative Trail.
