Crossing the River Wye - Sellack, Herefordshire
In the Wye-side meadows stands the suspension bridge which in 1896 replaced the ford and ferry at Sellack Boat. The span is 190 ft (feet) and there is another such over the Wye at Foy
SO 6028
. Beyond can be seen the church of St Tysilio - a dedication unique in England. The church has its origins in Norman times and two centuries later was much rebuilt. There are many features of interest and it is worth a visit. There is a cross in the churchyard to the memory of Elizabeth Dew - an upward pointing hand and the single word 'GONE'. Also here, on a bridleway to the south-west of the church, are what remains of the mansion of Caradoc Court. Time photo taken not available.
