Hiking
No, it's nothing to do with garages or cars. Shell Ford is infact a beautiful picnic site by the babbling Shell Brook. Green mosses cling to the charming, double-arched ancient packhorse bridge and birds sing in the trees. There are wheelchair accessible picnic tables and a small car park near the site.

Hiking
This is a lovely old bridge that is only just wide enough for a horse, and of course there are no walls or railings, so watch where you are going! The bridge is there as the ford it is next to is deep and quite notorious for motorists getting caught out and swept away by deep and fast flowing water.
