Heads of the Valleys road from the new footbridge But which square is the footbridge in? The 1:25000 map shows the grid line through the middle of the bridge, whilst the 1:50000 would suggest that it is at least 100m into this square. To avoid confusion, just a photo of the view eastwards is submitted. The Sugar Loaf above Abergavenny in the distance.
