In the distance is the southern portal of Willsbridge Tunnel, the longest on the A&GR at 150yds. There is quite a steep gradient from there down to the road, now the A431. This follows the course of the Via Julia, the Roman Road that linked Bath with South Wales & Carmarthen, via a ferry crossing of the River Severn at Aust. (For my 2019 photo see Image).
