Hookhills viaduct maintenance
5th August 2021
We had Peninsula Access track side during the week carrying out high level vegetation management on our viaduct. Removing and treating the vegetation stops the root from destroying the mortar holding the stones together thus extending the life of the viaduct. The pictures are of them working on Hookhills Viaduct at a height of 85ft (25m).
Reviews
- Stunning views - The views from the boat were stunning and the handy (and hilarious) commentary by the crew helped point out things of local interest. Loved it :)
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- Lovely day out - We decided on a steam train and boat ride day. The train was lovely, and the boat ride was a lot of fun with an entertaining guide, which one of my teenage daughters found hilarious!
