マッチバーチのおすすめライド

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。

A very special place in a remote location.

Fabulous and iconic Sandstone building, centrepiece of Ross on Wye.

Beautiful abbey in the secluded village of Abbey Dore, this is the gem of the Golden Valley.

In the words of the National Tranport Trust - Wilton Bridge is an exceptionally fine red sandstone bridge. In 1597 an Act was passed authorising its construction. It was completed within the next 2 years. There are five semi- circular arches each with 3 ribs and massive cutwaters on each side, carried up and splayed back from the outer angle at parapet level forming semi-hexagonal refuges. At the point where the splay dies out is a moulded string which is mitred and carried up to the angle against the spandrils of the arches and then mitred and carried across to form a label above the arches. The voussoirs of the arches are chamfered and joggled and have various masons' marks. On the upstream side the bridge has been widened but now the parapet has been replaced by a wooden handrail. The South East approach to the bridge has been rebuilt in ashlar with 2 flights of stone steps to the river bank. The sundial, formerly in one of the refuges has disappeared, and only the base of the pedestal remains. All in all it is a fine bridge, and has done well to weather the floods that happen most winters - as evidenced by the erosion of even the top stones on the arches.
