    Tips

    November 1, 2023

    Around 2016 Stowfield Viaduct (known also as Black Bridge) closed as it had become unsafe. This was sad news indeed as the old railway bridge formed part of the Wye Valley Walk. It has now been reopened for walkers only by utilising the scaffolding that was used to render it safe to boaters that passed underneath.
