Bigsweir Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This is another elegant cast-iron road bridge that has been built over the river Wye. It was constructed in 1827 and is another grade 2 listed building.

Brockweir Bridge was built in 1906, and is an iron, Grade II listed structure. Recently renovated, it looks much more attractive with a fresh coat of paint, and the views of the River Wye from it, are superb.

View of Tintern Abbey

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tintern Abbey is such an iconic structure. Even though it is in ruins, it still stands today in magnificant, roofless splendour. Its actual demise occurred during the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, when Henry VIII stripped the abbeys of England and Wales of their architectural dignity as well as their wealth during the English reformation. From this location, you can get the most awesome southern aspect view of the ruins from a safe location on the A466. Here you have a clear vantage point of Tintern, seen clearly against the beautiful wooded backdrop of the Wye Valley, a truly beautiful sight.

Tintern Wireworks Bridge

Highlight • Monument

An interesting old railway bridge which I believe took industrial rail across the river to join Chepstow to Monmouth. The surrounding countryside is stunning and in the local area is Tintern Abbey as well as a sculpture park and other interesting buildings.

The River Wye in the Wye Valley National Landscape

Highlight • Trail

Wonderful views across the river. Peaceful except for other friendly hikers.

View of Tintern Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

From the other side of the River Wye it is possible to glimpse the magical 12th Century Tintern Abbey through the trees. Tintern is one of the most spectacular monastic ruins in Wales, even 500 years after its dissolution. However, if you want to take a close look, you'll need to cross the river a kilometre or so further north.
