Charlton Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

With 27 arches, the Charlton Viaduct is an immensely impressive structure. It was built in the 19th century to carry the Somerset and Devon Joint Railway, initially a single track and later widened to carry two. A Grade-II listed building, it's easily seen from the numerous footpaths that run around it, including the Mendip Way long-distance trail.

Highlight • Structure

Take the route that goes over the top of the viaduct much easier.

Technical Ascent from Dinder

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice alternative ascent up to the East Mendip Way. A bit steep and scrabbly but nothing that isn’t enjoyable. Just don’t try it on a road bike 😂
