A 19th-century Irish railway viaduct

The Kilmacthomas Viaduct dates back to 1878. In the past, it was used for the transit of goods by rail. Closed in 1982, it is now a tourist attraction. It’s a fine example of 19th-century construction.

The viaduct takes the form of 7 rubble stone arches. Constructed from limestone blocks, it combines arches, voussoirs and parapets, giving it a massive, solid and timeless appearance.

Nowadays, you can climb the viaduct. It’s all about the beauty of the view from the summit! A pretty spot in the heart of the Irish countryside, conducive to peace and quiet. The icing on the cake is that access is free!
