Viaduct Way
Address:
Guildhall, The Broadway, Winchester, SO23 9GHAbout Viaduct Way
Take the Viaduct Way and enjoy some scenic views from a lovingly restored local landmark.
Opened in 1891, the Hockley Viaduct was part of the Didcot to Southampton railway. It closed to passengers in 1960, and to freight in 1966 as part of the national programme of closures proposed by Dr Richard Beeching. Winchester City Council acquired the viaduct in 1968. Until recently, the viaduct was in a state of disrepair. It has now been repaired to begin a new life as part of the National Cycle Route Network Route 23, for walkers and cyclists to enjoy.
You can purchase a paper copy of the trail from Winchester Visitor Information Centre.
