Have you walked across the top of Treffry Viaduct, a 19th-century architectural wonder hidden in the Luxulyan Valley near St Austell?

Whilst it’s a fascinating place to visit whatever the season, autumn days are a particularly special at the viaduct and a fantastic time to enjoy the stunning views of the valley this vantage point offers.

Built between 1839 and 1842 by Joseph Thomas Treffry, the viaduct was designed to carry both a tramway and a high-level leat across the Luxulyan Valley for the mining industry. The first large civil engineering structure of its kind to be built in Cornwall and the only known viaduct in Britain to combine these two uses, it is now a Scheduled Monument and an integral part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage site.

The 14 historic sites we care for are all open to the public and free to enter. It’s because of our members that we can offer universal access to our sites and help Cornwall’s heritage flourish.
