Location
Carrying the B4417 over the Afon Geirch just N of the centre of Edern.
History
Single-arched road bridge over the Afon Geirch, probably earlier C19.
Exterior
Single-arched road bridge of rubble stone, with broad shallow arch and stone flush voussoirs. The parapets, which extend out each side of the bridge, are of rubble stone but on the N half of the W side they have been raised by adding larger squared stones.

An attractive bridge on the main route between Caernarfon and Aberdaron.
