Caravanners heading to Wales in the new year will be met with an increased toll to cross the Severn bridge.
Severn River Crossing (SRC) plc confirmed that car and caravan owners would be charged £6.40, an extra 20p on the current cost.
The changes will come into place from 1 January and will also affect a number of other motorists using the bridges.
Small goods vehicles and small buses will be charged £12.80 (a 40p rise) while heavy goods vehicle drivers will have to pay an extra 60p taking the cost up to £19.20.
A spokesman for the SRC said: “The new toll levels are confirmed each year by a parliamentary Order made in December which authorises SRC to adjust tolls to the revised levels.”
Wales is a popular destination for caravanners with many people heading to the likes of Llandudno, Anglesey and Carmarthen Bay for a holiday.
