Gallox Bridge is a fine example of a medieval packhorse bridge. First mentioned in a document of 1475, the bridge was used to transport wool across the River Avill to sell in the market town of Dunster. Wool was England’s chief export in the Middle Ages and a major source of the country’s wealth.

This late medieval stone bridge - originally 'gallows bridge' - across the River Avill once carried packhorses bringing fleeces from Exmoor to the Somerset market town of Dunster. The town had become a centre of the wool trade by the 13th century, when it was the main source of England's wealth.
