Meldon Viaduct — a rust-red iron/stone railway viaduct set against open Dartmoor moorland and the Meldon Reservoir. Photograph arches, reflections in the water, and expansive skies. Best at golden hour or moody overcast for contrast; autumn/winter fog adds atmosphere. Accessible from Meldon Reservoir car park (short walk); no access to live tracks—respect signage. Weekdays and early mornings are quieter. Drone use regulated within Dartmoor National Park—check local rules.
