Built in 1883, this impressive bridge spans the River Severn as it loops around Shrewsbury town centre. The bridge is Grade II-listed and privately owned, remaining a toll bridge for vehicles at 20p a crossing. It's free for pedestrians and offers lovely views of the river.

Hiking

The Kingsland Bridge is NOT free for pedestrians, there is in fact a fee of 1p each way. If you can find the box in which to dutifully deposit your 1p or 2p, and if you actually have such small change. (Cash only, unlike the car toll which is now 30p and contactless card only.)
