Whitney Bridge (a working Toll Bridge) is Grade II listed ancient structure with a social and historical interest. The original toll bridge was enabled in 1774 as a more convenient crossing to the River Wye, other than by ferry. It was built under the authority of two Acts of Parliament 1780 and 1797 which were ratified by King George III and the Prime Minister of the day William Pitt the Younger. The Enabling Acts of Parliament are still in existence and all guidelines and clauses written into the Acts are as relevant today as they were 240 years ago. One of the main elements of the Acts is the charge of a toll fee in order to keep Whitney Bridge open, well maintained and safe for passage in perpetuity. The toll fee is governed by Parliament today and cannot be increased without a new Act being passed by the Secretary of State - the last increase was agreed in 2009.
Whitney Bridge has a unique history and is a beautiful architectural construction. You can sit by the River Wye overlooking the Bridge and picnic, canoe, swim or fish. We have camping available on site and space for Motor-homes if you ring ahead and book.
The facilities include loos and we have a breakfast service and seasonal cafe on site. If you are camping BBQs and open fires are allowed int he fire pits provided.
