格伦芬南

这里的高架桥以 21 座混凝土拱跨越芬南河上的西高地线,位于洛哈伯的希尔湖源头。它建于 1901 年,由 Robert McAlpine 的公司完工,如今列车仍会在开往马莱格的线路上从这里驶过。从游客中心上方的观景步道出发,沿着标示清楚的小路上坡步行不远,就能看到它完整的弧线。夏季,Jacobite 蒸汽火车会在从威廉堡出发的行程中经过这里。时刻表每季都会调整。天气晴朗时,停车场很快就会停满,所以如果想要车位,请赶在早班火车到达前很久就抵达。


格伦芬南高架桥和观景点背后有什么故事?

格伦芬南位于希尔湖源头,距威廉堡以西27公里,沿A830公路可达。西高地线在这里跨越芬南河,沿着一座弧形、全混凝土建成的高架桥前行。当地人称作“Concrete Bob”的罗伯特·麦卡尔平于1897年至1898年间建成了它,通往马莱格的线路则于1901年4月1日开通。高架桥共有21个拱孔,桥面高出河面30米,全长380米。它被列为A类保护建筑,而苏格兰国家信托负责管理周边步道和土地。

  • 格伦芬南高架桥观景点位于游客中心上方的山坡上,可通过格伦芬南步道一段短而陡的路段抵达。雨后路面会变得泥泞,建议穿合适的鞋。
  • Jacobite蒸汽列车大约在离开威廉堡30分钟后经过;开往马莱格方向的列车能看到最经典的景致。山坡上通常会聚集不少游客。
  • 格伦芬南车站博物馆利用车站里旧售票处和停放的车厢设立,离那些拱孔只需短短步行路程。游客中心停车场收费5英镑,夏季经常停满;路边和会车点停车都属违法。
