GENTLE UPHILL STROLL FROM OKEHAMPTON STATION TO MELDON VIADUCT ALONG THE GRANITE WAY FOOT PATH AND CYCLE TRACK
Meldon Viaduct的点评
点评：It took me an hour to walk along the Granite Way shared foot path and cycle track, climbing steadily on a gradient of 1:75, from the recently re-opened railway station at Okehampton to the impressive, disused, double-track lattice girder viaduct which spans the deep valley of the West Okement River just to the west of Meldon Quarry.
It was worth the stroll along the tarmac-surfaced path to cross this incredible feat of Victorian civil engineering, which was built by the London and South-Western Railway Company in 1874 to carry trains along its main line between Exeter and Plymouth via Okehampton and Tavistock.
As well as walking over the top of the viaduct, two, purpose-built viewing platforms have been constructed on the abutments which allow visitors to inspect the structure from underneath.
The six-span, wrought-iron, truss-girder viaduct - which took three years to build - is 535 feet long and 151 feet high. It is currently owned by the Meldon Viaduct Company Limited.

翻译：我花了整整一个小时，沿着花岗岩路（Granite Way）的人行道和自行车道，以1:75的坡度稳步攀升，从最近重新开放的奥克汉普顿火车站一路走到那座令人印象深刻的废弃双轨桁架高架桥。这座高架桥横跨西奥克门特河的深谷，就在梅尔顿采石场西侧。
沿着柏油路漫步，穿过这座维多利亚时代土木工程的奇迹，绝对值得。这座高架桥由伦敦和西南铁路公司于1874年建造，用于连接埃克塞特和普利茅斯，途经奥克汉普顿和塔维斯托克。
除了可以步行穿过高架桥顶部，桥墩上还建有两个专门的观景平台，游客可以从下方欣赏这座桥梁的结构。
这座六跨锻铁桁架高架桥耗时三年建成，长535英尺，高151英尺。它目前归梅尔顿高架桥有限公司所有。
