Cadw's description
Location
Approximately 0.2km E of Llanbedr church, crossing the Grwyne Fechan, and reached by path from the church.
Exterior
Late C18 or early C19 single-carriageway bridge ramped to the centre, of rubble sandstone. Between splayed abutments is a segmental arch with thin voussoirs. The parapet has slab copings and extends beyond the bridge on the E side.
Reason for designation
Good example of small early road bridge and for group value with similar bridge further downstream.
