Cadw's description
Location
Bridge carrying the Picton Ferry - Rhos by-road through Kennel Wood. A kilometre N of Picton Ferry.
History
Small late C18 or early C19 embattled road bridge on the Picton Estate, forming an impressive approach to Picton Castle from Picton Ferry, the latter once the main ferry crossing over the Cleddau from Landshipping to the S.
Exterior
Rubble sandstone construction. Low and short parapet walls with pitched crenellations. The E parapet slightly curves. On both sides, the terminating merlon is taller. Small round-arched opening with stone voussoirs.
Reason for designation
Listed as an attractive bridge, clearly conceived in the 'Picturesque' taste of the period, forming an important part of the ongoing improvements of the Picton Estate.
