| | Severn Bridge - Glasgledius (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The Severn Bridge is nowadays generally regarded as the main crossing point from England into Wales, despite the fact that the two countries share a land border. |
 | | Prior to 1966, when the first suspension bridge was built across the estuary of the River Severn, road traffic between Wales and the southern counties of England - including London - either had to travel via Gloucester or take a ferry, which ran, roughly along the line of the Severn Bridge, from Aust to Beachley. |
 | | The second bridge, which is of cable-stayed construction and hence, despite the apparent similarity, is not a suspension bridge, is wider and more resistant to high winds, and, because of its location, enjoys more traffic than the first bridge, which is still in general use. |
