Garway Hill 366.6m P266 (1203ft) (DoBIH Hill ID: 2857) [JNSA 10985] TP3331 - Garway Hill S6429 FB height 366.832m #960

Garway hill is one of the real highlights of the Herefordshire Trail, a proper hill with very fine views in all directions, and ponies!

This unusual and eyecatching church up on it's hill dominates the village of Hoarwithy, and it's most spectacular feature is the Italianate tower.

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

Parking on side of the road for two cars. Although a steep climb their are lots of places stop and worth it for the views.

360 degree views over 5 counties - worth the ride to the top

£2 per adult. guy was really nice. the other ferry down the road was 'closed for maintenance' because it had sunk

Great network track and trails. Be prepared for a fair amount of climbing away from the river on either side.
