About

Bigsweir Bridge is a border crossing of the River Wye between Wales (Monmouthshire) and England (Gloucestershire) on the A466 Wye Valley road between Chepstow and Monmouth.

Built in 1827, it is a single-file traffic-light operated road bridge with a narrow pedestrian pathway on either side of the road. The original toll house for the bridge remains on the Welsh side, although crossing is now free.

It is noted for its close proximity to the Offa's Dyke Path, which passes close to the eastern side of the bridge.

Part of the Netflix TV show Sex Education was filmed nearby at Bigsweir House (a private home).
