Cadw's description
Location
The bridge carries the road running NW from Llanystumdwy across the deep wooded glen of the Afon Dwyfor.
History
The bridge was probably erected in the late C18.
Exterior
Constructed of local stone rubble. A wide single arch spanning c10m and rising to a crown 3.3m above the river. It is constructed with rubble voussoirs and a regulating course, flush spandrels rising to low parapets defining the 3.25m wide road. The NE end terminates in a heavily raking buttress and at the SE end there is a small flood arch. The 43cm thick parapets continue for some 21m on a causeway.
Reason for designation
Included as a fine C18 bridge in a beautiful wooded setting.
