Sellack Suspension Bridge
Highlight • Historical Site
Before the bridge was built, a ferry would take residents from bank to bank. However, it has been said that the boatmen could often be cantankerous and refuse passage. This caused one vicar to defiantly cross the Wye on stilts, or so the story goes...

Sellack Suspension Bridge, St. Tysilio's Church, and The Loughpool Pub
Highlight • Bridge
Refreshment and great food can be found at the Loughpool, a traditional pub in a quaint, timbered cottage. After a day following the Wye's snaking course through the countryside, its rustic charm represents the perfect setting to unwind in.
