The local landmark is the Headstone Viaduct, built by the Midland Railway in 1862, over the River Wye, immediately after the 533 yard Headstone Tunnel, travelling north from Great Longstone. The viaduct, usually incorrectly called 'Monsal Dale Viaduct', is 300 feet long, with five 50 foot span arches, some forty feet high at the centre. Initially, some slippage occurred, and remedial work was carried out in 1907-8. The Headstone Viaduct is a bridge and not a true viaduct.
