A lucrative toll bridge which rakes in a cool £100,000-a-year tax free thanks to an ancient Act of Parliament has been put up for sale for £800,000.

The Whitney-on-Wye bridge, in Herefordshire, is one of only eight privately-owned toll bridges in the UK, and because of it's popular location for commuters and tourists, pulls in thousands of pounds at a £1-a-go.

The sale offers potential buyers a tax-free income and has been put up for sale because its current owners Maggie Taylor and Grahame Penny - who bought the historic bridge over the River Wye in 2012 - want to retire.
