モーディフォード周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

橋があることの他の理由をいくつかご紹介します。 「イングリッシュ・フォイ」（東岸、ホール・イン・ザ・ウォール）の信者が、フェリーに頼ることなく「ウェルシュ・フォイ」（西岸）の教会に到達できるようにするためです。 地元の話によると、もっと現実的な理由もあります。パブはイギリス側にあり、信頼できる渡し舟があれば地元の人々や渡し守の両方の生活が楽になったのです。

According to Harper Bridges - This bridge was commissioned by the congregations of the churches of Sellack Boat and King’s Caple and built in 1895. The towers are of tubular cast iron, with nameplate transoms embossed “Louis Harper AIMCE, Maker, Aberdeen”. The original cables to common anchorages are still in place, as are their hangers. However, at some stage (nobody seems to know when or why) further short cables were clamped to the original, presumably to support areas of wear and avoid cable replacement. This has led to crowding at the saddles. However, the bridge is still used and the local churches continue to hold their ‘Bridge Thanksgiving’ ceremony each year. This area is noted for its flooding but so far the bridge has held since the arched deck remains above the flow, although the approaches are inundated. It lacks the original longitudinal deck boarding but the original camber is well maintained. This bridge is the best illustration of the method of attachment of hangars to main cable employed by John and Louis Harper

The Cathedral Green is open to bikes and Church Street, leading off it to the north, has several good cafes you can stop at.

Foy and Hole-in-the-Wall are two villages near Ross-on-Wye that are actually split by the River Wye. Foy is on one side and Hole-in-the-Wall is on the other. In times gone by crossing from one part to the other was only possible by ferry or ford but in 1876 a suspension bridge was built and a very pretty one it is too.

Haugh Woods Butterfly Trails are two short trails that meander the ancient woodland of Haugh Woods. The trails have been set up by Forestry England to allow everyone to enjoy the numerous butterflies and moths that live here. This is an important site for UK butterflies (we are in short supply!) and this woodland gives nearly 350 hectares or 850 acres for them to breed. There are about over 600 of both species living here!

The well-maintained cathedral is pleasing to the eye.
