The railway bridge which was along the path way was originally attached to the brick bridge by St. Helen’s but was moved a few years ago and placed where you seen it

Nearly all towns and cities in Wales have a castle. In nearly all of my videos in this current series from South Wales I visit a castle. There are numerous in Monmouthshire as well as ruined abbeys and priories. Easy to get to on the coach also and not expensive compared to the trains.

@@AliceGossI managed to get a return ticket London to Birmingham for £18 on the Trainline website. From there it costs me £22 return to get to Worcester by train. Booking 10 days in advance it's good value. I'll also take a day trip to Hereford, that's £12 off peak return from Worcester. It's only this year I discovered that train travel needn't be astronomically expensive if you just book a bit in advance.
