Thread revival as I drove under this recently, my car is 5' 1"

It's under the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal near Abergavenny.

I drive though this every day - actually its a bit higher than advertised.. My son's Discovery 2 fits

Not a vehicular route, but there's a bridge over a canal towpath/footpath that you need to crawl under. Can't remember where though.

I know exactly where that bridge is, the other side is a foot path only and is even lower.

[carreauchompeur]

Yeah, thought as much! I was exploring snickets as a wanted person had been arrested near there earlier in the day and I wasn’t familiar with where it went. Needless to say I didn’t attempt it although someone clearly drives through there!

Were you not in the slightest tempted to do the movie thing, where the cops knock the light bar off when chasing the bad guys?

Believe it or not a lot of people drive through it as there is 6/8 houses the other side, you can do a bigger loop and go under the motorway bridge but this a shortcut, I have driven though it a few times

It is a little un-nerving the first time you use it.

That must be the only video I've ever watched on YouTube involving the correct use of a car horn.

This bridge sprang to mind when I read the topic, I used to flinch going under that in my mini let alone a modern car I think the angle that it crosses the road makes it feel even lower than it is.

Ironically if you move under the bridge on Google Street view . . . a modern mini can be seen on the other side

Entrance to Starcross Yacht Club in Devon going under the railway line.
The really brave (stupid?) in the past have tried to tow their boats under the bridge too.
It's been a few years since I drove under there, but as kids we used to stand under the bridge and be deafened as trains thundered overhead on the Exeter to Plymouth line.

Haha I did mention in my post that is customary to blip your horn upon entry.

I've been using the route through this tunnel a lot more since the recent road works on the A48 near Langstone.

Makes me appreciate the fact the M4 was built. I cannot begin to understand the grief without it being built through South Wales. The moment the M4 gets snarled up at J24 the locals/waze users use the A48 off of it and cut through the B4245 (magor road) to rejoin M4 J23A.

Could do with the Welsh assembly funding the Newport bypass next but that's another story! (In fact just demo Newport and make the land available to road use!)

I give you on Church Lane, Neston, Cheshire at 5ft 9" as The Wirral Way passes over it

I walked past this bridge at the weekend - and thought it would be a low squeeze even in my Caterham Seven - you need to stoop on foot. There are no restriction signs that I recall, and the road leads to the static caravan site / beach. Other access is available…

I can only conclude that the Coach Parking sign is miss-aligned.[url]
