No not Glenfinnan, you’ve seen too many Harry Pothead filums.

I've not watched a single one of these more than half an hour... neither have I read the books.No not Glenfinnan, you’ve seen too many Harry Pothead filums.
But the bridge is in the media again .. wasn't it recently closed due to repair works?
Ditto about the films or books never seen or read any. Not sure about the repair work. I’ve only seen the viaduct from the car when driving to Malaig. What struck me more than the viaduct was the size of the War Memorial in what is a tiny village.

British - apparently some US company stole my name
No - which means it's the other famous long viaduct in the UK...
Clue, think Michael Portillo
Looks like a British train
Ribblehead or Batty Moss Viaduct
Yes Ribbleshead viaduct. You’re on. Why are mine so easy?
Sticking to the bridge/aqueduct theme-
Italy?
Yes, indeed
Roman built?
Gravina
Gravina is correct. It was originally a Roman built aqueduct and is now used as a bridge over the ravine. It was featured in part of a James Bond movie.
We went to Naples and went into the underground water feeds which came 50 km via aqueducts like that. Despite going to Pompei, Vesuvius , Herculaneum and Capri that was the highlight.
Not a bridge but a statue. Name the place and bonus points for the story.
Hint. The statue is a monkey that was a case of mistaken identity.
Is that a lemur?
You missed my post it’s a monkey. See above.
Monkey Hanger in Hartpool, England. Apparently, the monkey was hanged for being a French spy.
Yes it was Hartlepool, I don’t think the story is true but the legend remains. You’re on.
When you said mistaken identity I thought you meant the monkey
I did the story goes a monkey came off a ship during the Napoleonic wars and the locals in Hartlepool had never seen a monkey or a Frenchman. So the monkey was accused of spying and didn’t deny it so was hanged.
Ok, staying with the statue theme, here is the next image for your viewing pleasure.
I've seen a lot of statues like that in Belgium, so I'm gonna guess... The Congo?
LOL. Not The Congo.
The Peeing Boy of Iya Gorge in Japan.
Yes, @Cheshire Cat, it is The Peeing Boy. Your turn.
Built by a genius
UK?
Menai Bridge, designed by Thomas Telford
Yes you’re on next.
Staying with bridges-

The "Teufelsbrücke" (Devils Bridge) in Germany - thb, I'm not sure where exactly, I think it was Saxony. It's a totally artificial construct, the basalt columns are not remotely of natural origin there. Same for the basalt "spikes" in the backgroung
The bridge was some kind of Insta-spot, until they closed it due to the risk of collapse. Then it became a media thing, because the insta-stars wouldn't let go of the bridge. This story brought it back into my memory.
