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

Kate Humble the Tv presenter once said 'The Wye Valley Walk passes through this beautiful part of the world which I am lucky enough to call home. Don’t rush the walk.' No truer words have been said. The Wye Valley, by foot or canoe, is as good as it gets anywhere.

Designed in the Italian Romanesque style by architect John Pollard Seddon, St Catherine's is an astonishing Grade I-listed church in the small village of Hoarwithy. Described as the 'most impressive Victorian church in the country', it was completed in the late 19th century. Built from sandstone, its most prominent feature is its four-storey campanile.
