This bridge is the first of 4 bridges from the viaduct end of the cutting.
Tavistock Viaduct Walk leads through Watts Road Cutting, which was dug during the construction of the railway line between Lydford and Plymouth in 1887 – 1890. The cutting is 50 feet deep and half a mile long. The former track bed is now used as a walkway and cycle route and is a haven of quiet, natural beauty. It has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve and is carefully managed for all to enjoy.
