Questions and answers

Stop 11. The Bird in Hand pub

Here in the valley bottom we’ve seen a river, road and two railway lines. We hope you’ve enjoyed this walk. Perhaps next time you cross over a railway bridge, walk alongside a river or drive along a main road, you can think about the reasons for its position, the challenges of its construction, the people and traffic that have used it, and its future. Congratulations on finishing the walk! Please leave a comment letting us know what you thought of it.
