Kielder Viaduct is a stone railway viaduct constructed in the mid-nineteenth century as part of the North British Railway's extension into the Borders region of Northumberland. The structure was built to carry the railway across the valley of the North Tyne, employing robust masonry construction typical of Victorian railway engineering. The viaduct represents an important example of industrial-era infrastructure development and reflects the significant investment in rail transport during this period. Its strategic location and substantial construction demonstrate the engineering solutions required to extend the railway network into the upland terrain of northern England.
