Bigsweir Bridge, Wye Valley added to Bridges in South West by clinkadink on 08/12/2023

TOAL: 51.742878, -2.670014

Wasn't planning this one, but it was on my return journey back south down the Wye Valley. A very pretty bridge over the River Wye.

Bigsweir Bridge is an 1827 road bridge crossing the River Wye, straddling the boundary between the parish of St. Briavels, Gloucestershire, England, and Llandogo, Monmouthshire, Wales.

The elegant cast-iron road bridge was built in 1827 as part of the new turnpike road constructed up the lower part of the Wye valley between Chepstow and Monmouth. The bridge connects the English and Welsh sides of the river, with an abandoned but recently restored toll house on the Welsh side. The bridge comprises a single arch of 50 metres (55 yd) , and was designed by Charles Hollis of London and cast at Merthyr Tydfil.

Hermitage Riverside Memorial Garden, Tower Hamlets (By themartinbailey)

Best to travel by train (Tower Hill on Circle Line is nearest tube). 10 min walk from Station. Area was mainly quiet, even for a Saturday morning.

Note that there is a naval area - HMS President - that has a restriction above it, but if you fly towards the south bank and then forward you can get some great shots of Tower Bridge. You cannot fly past the bridge, as that is restricted airspace.

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Port of Felixstowe (By liberator24)

The Port of Felixstowe, in Felixstowe, Suffolk, is the United Kingdom's largest container port, dealing with 48% of Britain's containerised trade.

In 2017, it was ranked as 43rd busiest container port in the world and 8th in Europe, with a handled traffic of 3.85 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). In 2019 it was ranked the UK's 7th busiest port.

The port is operated by the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company, which was set up under an Act of Parliament, the Felixstowe Railway and Pier Act 1875, and so is one of the few limited companies in the UK that do not have the word "Limited" in their name.

Much of the land on which it sits is owned by Trinity College, Cambridge, which in the 1930s bought some land near Felixstowe which included a dock that was too small to be included in the National Dock Labour Scheme. In 1967, it set up Britain's first container terminal for £3.5m in a deal with Sea-Land Service.
