Kerne Bridge
The village of Kerne Bridge was originally known as ‘the Quern’, but later became named after the road bridge which was built in 1828. However, the picnic place is based around the foot of an old railway bridge - a single track bridge built by Edward Finch of Chepstow. The railway line once closely followed the River Wye for most of the way, and the first station leaving Ross, except for a halt at Walford, was at the village of Kerne Bridge. The railway station, which finally closed in 1959, was located closer to the road bridge on the left bank of the river.
