Cadw's description
Location
Located towards the western boundary of the community within the Beddgelert forest and spanning the Afon Hafod-Ruffydd-Isaf; approximately 0.5km W of the A 4085, carrying the pre-turnpike road.
History
Single-span road bridge, rebuilt after floods in 1844.
Exterior
Of rubble construction with segmental arch and rough-dressed voussoirs. Humped, unmetalled carriageway with rough, uncoped parapets, apparently slightly raised. These are splayed out slightly at the approaches and have square terminating piers.
Adjoining on both sides of the stream on the upstream side are the boulder platforms of an earlier bridge.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as a late C18 or early C19 regional road bridge retaining good character.
