Shillamill viaduct was built in 1889 by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway, engineers Galbraith and Church, with J.W. Szlumper for the London and South Western Railway. It is constructed of squared rock-faced granite with ashlar quoins, dressings and arch-rings. It is a double-track viaduct with twelve 50ft arches built almost in a straight line and is about 700 ft long with its greatest height at about 100ft. Although the line was closed south of Lydford in 1968 there are regular proposals for reinstatement to provide a second railway link to Cornwall. It is listed Grade II.
