Lockwood Viaduct is a stone railway bridge that carries the Huddersfield to Penistone Line across the River Holme, in West Yorkshire, England. The viaduct is noted for its height, (being an average of high, but at its maximum, to the top of the parapet level, it is ), leading one journalist to describe it as "One of the most stupendous structures of ancient or modern times."
