다리 건설의 다른 몇 가지 이유: "English Foy"(동쪽 강둑, Hole‑in‑the‑Wall)의 교구민들이 페리에 의존하지 않고 "Welsh Foy"(서쪽 강둑)의 교회에 갈 수 있도록 하기 위해서입니다. 지역 기록에 따르면 더 현실적인 이유도 있습니다. 선술집이 영국 쪽에 있었고, 믿을 수 있는 뱃길은 지역 주민과 뱃사공 모두의 삶을 더 쉽게 만들어 주었습니다.

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

This area has a few churches dedicated to welsh or Irish saints, as is the case here. Tyslio was the second son of the reigning King of Powys, Brochwel Ysgithrog, and the maternal nephew of the great Abbot Dunod of Bangor Iscoed. He took part in the affairs of Wales during the distressful period at the opening of the 7th century. Tysilio probably started his career in Trallwng Llywelyn (Welshpool) and afterwards took up residence in Meifod where he studied under Gwyddfarch. Around 630, Tysilio moved to an island in the Menai Strait, (now called Ynys Tysilio, where he established a hermitage, and preached throughout Ynys Môn for the next seven years. He then returned to Meifod, where he talked the aging abbot out of making a pilgrimage to Rome. Eventually, Tysilio succeeded Gwyddfarch as abbott. Also of note is the tall narrow spire, which is a feature of several churches in this area - such as Ross, Peterstow and Kings Caple. Many others in Herefordshire have square dumpy towers instead.

Another example of a delightful little valley that descends from the nearby hills down to the river. Mainly grassland with woodland, it is quiet and peaceful.

The route gives a view across fields to Foy suspension bridge, which is a foot bridge across the Wye. It was built following repeated disputes with the ferrymen, and there are other similar bridges nearby in this area.

The little valley just north of Eaton Hill farm is a delightful example of rolling Herefordshire countryside, with sheep grazing undulating grassland that is interspersed with fine trees.

Eaton Hill is a bit of a prairie as it is currently growing winter wheat and there are no hedges, but it does make for easy walking and the path is clear. It also gives extensive views especially to the west and south.
