The shot is situated just off the A38 Liskeard to Bodmin road. Directly after passing Trago Mills on your left, (heading towards Bodmin) take the turning left up a narrow road. After about a quarter of a mile and passing under a railway bridge, you go about 500 yards further where there are some parking places. The shot is taken off the bank back down the road a little way. you will see the viaduct as you walk back towards the bridge you came under.

Photographic notes
The line at this point is running pretty much west to east. With only an eastbound shot then the best time for direct sun light will be be between about 09:00 and 12:00. You are also on a hillside which will affect direct light.
