Seven Arches Bridge (Newport)

The Seven Arches Bridge, also known as the Newport Viaduct, is a striking stone railway bridge spanning the Newport River in County Mayo. Built in the 19th century, this seven-arch structure is a fine example of Victorian engineering and remains a prominent landmark in the area. The bridge once carried the Westport to Achill railway line, which closed in the 1930s. Today, it stands as a testament to the region's railway heritage. Visitors can walk along the nearby paths to admire the bridge's elegant arches and the surrounding landscape. The river below adds to the picturesque scene, making it a popular spot for photography and quiet contemplation.
