This is always my first stop when I visit Monmouth I never tire of the beautiful setting and you always get a sense of history going through the gate walking in the footsteps of so many before you over the centuries. It is unique too being the only fortified bridge to survive in Great Britain
5. Old Wye Bridge

This bridge carries the old road between England/Wales, from Gloucestershire to Monmouthshire over the River Wye and has the border right in the middle. Like some places on the equator you can straddle two countries. If you are on one side of the bridge you can take a picture of this with Chepstow Castle in the background. Also marvel at the massive tide range here, the same rise and fall of the River Severn, and at certain times you;ll see the River Wye "flow the other way" when the tide comes in. The eddys and whirlpools under the bridge are quite hypnotic. You may also see a seal from her as they hunt for salmon. The elegant cast iron bridge is unique with its five spans and celebrated its bicentenary recently.

Worth a visit to see the design of this bridge and to learn about the history. The Man on the roundabout also is very eye catching and significant.

This bridge has now been closed off by a perminant railings across the front of it ! Maybe dangerous to cross ? But the local council need to sort this out and repair anything that needs to be repaired as this is an iconic pice of local history and should not be left to fall into a state of disrepair !

I have ridden my bycycle over the severn bridge a number of times, it can be windy but on a nice day its lovely, i have even had lunch half way across and enjoyed the views. This bridge is the older of the two bridges that cross the severn, the newer bridge is called The Prince of Wales bridge and can be seen from the severn bridge as they are only approx two miles between them both.
