Within just 10 minutes of Par Sands stands the impressive Treffry Viaduct. When it was built it was the most advanced engineering project in the Western Peninsula at the time and towers above the ground at 89 feet high and 650 feet long. Treffry’s
Viaduct, built by the 19th Century Cornish engineer Joseph Treffry, is an engineering wonder. Built between 1839 and 1842 the viaduct is a hugely

impressive structure, with a total of ten arches, which are each 90 feet high, with a span of 40 feet. The structure itself is 98 feet high and comprises 200,000 cubic feet of granite. It was constructed to carry horse
drawn wagons and water across the Luxulyan valley. The viaduct was also part of a local transport system designed to carry china clay to Par’s Port. Treffry became known as the ‘King of Mid-Cornwall’ for his remarkable achievement, this hidden treasure was ahead of its time and was the first large granite viaduct to be built in Cornwall.
