This is quite a dilapidated metal railway bridge dating from 1876 but it is in a really exceptional beautiful location. The bridge was closed to railway traffic in 1964 but has been kept open because of the footbridge. It is also a grade 2 listed building.

Footbridge across the River Wye. Alongside disused railway bridge.

Right next to the bridge is the pub "The Boat Inn", which is a great place to stop for a bite to eat. It's only a short detour to the pub from Offa's Dyke Path.
