Whitney-on-Wye Toll Bridge

Highlight • Monument

One of only eight privately owned toll bridges in the UK, Whitney-on-Wye toll bridge carries the B4350 across the River Wye. Both the bridge and its attending toll house are Grade II-listed structures. First built in 1780, separate floods destroyed at least two incarnations before the current design was put in place in 1797.

Hay Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Hay Castle is a medieval fortress and a 17th-century Jacobean mansion house. The fort was built in the late 12th century and is considered to be one of the greatest medieval defence structures on the border of England and Wales still standing. However, this comes in spite of its past. The castle was attacked and burnt several times during the first and second Barons' Wars, the wars with the Welsh princes, the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr, as well as the Wars of the Roses.
