View under bridge carrying Sirhowy Valley Walk A very narrow road leads down, then round a corner to reveal this view through the arch of the old bridge which used to carry a railway, but now has the Sirhowy Valley Walk crossing over it. The view is towards the Sirhowy Valley itself, though it is hard to make it out through all the trees.

Sirhowy River seen from bridge. Due to recent heavy rain the river is flowing vigorously in this picture. A small tributary can be seen coming in near the top left of the picture. The road over the bridge comes from the A4048, but is no longer passable for cars for much further than this bridge.
