Gallox Bridge lies at the southern end of the mediaeval village of Dunster and was used to help pack animals to cross the River Avill. It is unusual in being a long two-span bridge with a raised causeway approaching from the village; many of these bridges are single span and have quite rough surfaces on them. It is the starting point for a number of walks which head out across Dunster Deer Park towards the remote Croydon Hill area which is almost free of public motor roads.
