This viaduct is on the main line not far from Grampound Road station. It crosses the valley of the River Fal in a rural spot near the hamlet of Coombe.
There is potential confusion as there is another more well-known Coombe viaduct near Saltash, as well as another Cornish riverside village called Coombe.
Giles painted views of many viaducts.
