A few dedicated people have put a lot of time and effort to make this pathway open to all with picnic tables and disabled access,it would be great if the path was opened up over the viaduct so that people can access from both ends making a circular walk like it was in the past please remove the obstacles.

Walking along the old railway line with Alfie, for the 1st time since we used to play when we were kids some 50 odd years ago. Remembering the day that a train trundled along, sending us scuttling down the embankment to get out of the way, before it clanked across the blue Ferodo bridge and off onto Simonstone over the Martholme Viaduct that was “out of bounds” for us then.
The walk now is wonderful in all kinds of weather, but is best when the sun is shining and I am impressed by the work that is continually going on. A fallen tree just after Christmas is now despached and new hedgehog homes are now stacked nearby.
I plan to add to the many bird feeders that are being added along the route then we can sit a while and watch the wild life.
I went to the other end of the viaduct and noticed work going on hopefully to extend the walk. I look forward to this.
All in all a little jewel that is worth a stroll thanks to the workers keeping this part of heritage alive and diversifying it into another service
Cheers Dave P

A hidden gem. Although this viaduct is not far away it is easily missed as you have to walk downhill along a long lane to get to it and it is largely obscured from the road. You can actually drive and park by the steps leading to it. After climbing the steps to get to the actual viaduct the views are magnificent. A magnificent feat of Victorian engineering. It has several information boards explaining the history, and also the wildlife in the area.Although the railway tracks have long since been removed the walkways have been carefully looked after making a pleasant walk along the disused railway route. Didn't have time to explore the remains of an old pit just off the walkway, an incentive to go again. And its absolutely free to visit, no charge at all!.

We walked along the viaduct this weekend, with great views of the river and hills surrounding it. Would recommend wearing good footwear and if you don't like heights, take someone with you! Also, while there, call at the house Martholme, by the bottom of Martholme Lane, which runs private tours. It's medieval and grade 1 listed and does two tours a day on certain days a month. The family members do the tours and the lady who showed us round was so accommodating and full of interesting facts. We can't thank her enough for a brilliant hour's tour.

We were taken to the viaduct on a led walk by one of our group members. It is a superbly preserved structure in an attractive setting.

Lovely walk through nature to get here was a shame they was working on the other side of the bridge so you could not carry on the trail, look forward to go back to carry on the adventure

The viaduct is quite small and although you can walk across it you the other ended is blocked off. The viaduct is accessed by some steep steps and the view is not really worth the climb

It is time that this pathway was opened up all the way to allow access to make it a complete fruit so that there will be accses for all on either side.

As your previous correspondent advised. Or visit the Gamecock on Whalley Road if you are going for a drink or meal.
