Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>Located adjacent to the B4350, along a stretch of roadway http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1940809 formerly part of the Hay-on-Wye to Glasbury road, are the remains of a railway bridge. It was part of the Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway which opened for traffic in 1864 and closed in 1962.

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>This apparently nondescript view has historical interest for two reasons. The road now leads to fields, but formerly was part of the B4350 from Hay-on-Wye. The road was straightened to follow a route a little to the south, bypassing this section. Secondly, the road leads to the remains http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1940829 of a railway bridge, part of the former Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway which opened for traffic in 1864 and closed (as part of the nationalised British Railways) in 1962.

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>Viewed from the edge of B4350. Running across the middle of the view is an embankment, which formerly carried the railway lines between Glasbury and Hay-on-Wye. It was part of the Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway which opened for traffic in 1864 and closed in 1962. The embankment is directly northeast of the remains of a railway bridge. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1940829

Dist:1.4km west<br/>Viewed from a crossroads of minor roads about 200 metres east of the A438. An unnamed road heads away from Glasbury, towards Tir-uched Farm and points further east.
