월포드 최고의 사이클링 경로

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.

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

This is a particularly fine stretch of the river Wye, as recognized by the Wye Valley National Landscape. The stretched out village of Hoarwithy occupies the west bank, with its unusual Italianate St Catherine's church. The river is crossed by the old toll bridge with it's little Tollhouse - they stopped collecting tolls in the 1930's when the bridge was bought for public ownership.

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 On the upstream side the bridge has been widened but now the parapet has been replaced by a wooden handrail.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.

A lovely little town built on hilly ground so the streets go up and down, with the Market Hall on stilts in a prominant location.

This place is definitely worth a visit. It is a beautiful area with seating available and a refreshments van on-site.

Lovely circular route. Great for all abilities, takes in some beautiful apota
