Site Record

An impressive rusticated-limestone structure of fifteen arches, set on a curve, Cefn-coed-y-cymmer viaduct was built to carry the Brecon and Merthyr Railway over the Taf Fawr. Constructed by Savin and Ward in 1866 to a design by H. Conybeare and A. Sutherland, it is 235m (770ft) long and 36.6m (120ft) high.
