"An ornate 19th-century railway bridge built in 1838 that still carries trains on the London–Brighton line and has become a hugely popular photographic landmark; its spectacular under-archways, constructed from roughly 11 million bricks, create the optical illusions that attract influencers and photographers. Located in West Sussex and a short drive from Gatwick, it’s worth arriving early to avoid queues for photos." - Astrid Hofer

Local landmark that is definitely worth a visit and bring your camera. Parking is however very limited and not for faint hearted. The 'laybys' are very uneven and on a main fast flowing road so make it tricky to access (Overall review marked down due to parking)

Came here on a Sunday morning (10am), it was slightly crowded but we still had space to enjoy the view and take some photos. Most cars park by the roadside and we had a nice walk around the area. Is it a great place to take pictures? Yes. Is it worth traveling long journey for this - not really in my personal opinion.

Great hike, people were friendly and the path was quite okay. Quite a nice landmark with some cool pics taken

It's simply spectacular, a photographer's paradise, if you're into geometrical structures and industrial architecture. Parking is very limited, so best to go early or late in the day or when the weather isn't great. Incredible that such an old viaduct is still so much in use! Being it beautiful probably helped its preservation.

Great and imposing feature on the landscape. Amazing feat of architecture but the problem is parking. There are two, very poorly maintained and very small areas to park with fast flowing traffic in either direction making it dangerous. If there was a dedicated car park it would be better.

Stunning piece of architecture. Can be quite muddy so prepare for that well worth the short walk there. Not many parking spaces so go when it’s quiet if you can.

Lovely scenery but when on a raft, you don't want to be pelted with 2lb bags of flour or eggs! Good fun race though, well done Lewes Round Table

One of the best victorian structures that I have seen. It is worth a visit just to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the building of such a beautiful viaduct. Its was also a very unique place for a spot of lunch.
