Correct, @MontyVeda and you have the correct spot, which I found remarkably hard to pin down. Perhaps this is because the streetview images are taken from the road (parallax?).
If you'd noticed it was on the coast perhaps you'd've found it.

This is the end of the road for the google car, but bikes and bipeds can continue across, although i probably should've dismounted.
Ps. it's not in my usual cycling area

So much for Wikipedia's list of UK viaducts - that one is not on it! And my OS map does not say that there is a viaduct there either, unlike the others I mentioned...@ColinJ wasn't far off, Catesby is the next viaduct further north, but I don't remember seeing that from the road.

I couldn't use my real-life knowledge because I have never ridden down that road!Perish the thought that we should ever use actual knowledge...
I am surprised that the viaduct wasn't labelled on my OS map.
Wikipedia can be very useful but I do NOT rely on what it says without checking elsewhere.

Nothing to stop you updating it yourself?I couldn't use my real-life knowledge because I have never ridden down that road!

True, but there are so many things that I'd like to do but never get round to. Updating a list of UK viaducts comes low in the pecking order!

The path leads to a foot bridge that crosses the fairest of rivers 
...and don't forget, this is the end of the road for the google car.

Hmmm...... that sounds as if it should be Borrowdale and the Derwent then, but I can't find any road ends which look like that, despite it looking annoyingly familiar.
