WEIRD AND WONDERFUL...
Due to my unique numbering system, I have these down as:

Weird and Wonderful #11 - Welsh Wooden Toll Bridges

Although there are two separate bridges here, I would not be so greedy (or unimaginative) as to try to claim points on both.  Part of the weirdness is in finding two wooden toll bridges just a few miles apart.  The wonderful thing is that motorcycles can be ridden across the Barmouth Bridge (albeit with some disapproving stares).

According to Wikipedia this elevator for boats is - and I quote - "known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways".
