Green Clough

Remains of Birchinlee Viaduct The viaduct carried the railway used in the construction of the Derwent dams over Ouzelden Clough. The water level was low with capacity below 50% on the day of the visit. The low water level has exposed the stone foundations <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6943062">SK1691 : Foundations of Birchinlee Viaduct</a> but these fragments of wooden beams have survived over 100 years as they are usually above the water level.
