Cadw's description
Location
Situated approximately 200m SW of the house at Llantarnam Abbey crossing the Dowlais Brook.
History
Bridge of the earlier C19, over Dowlais brook, probably contemporary with the remodelling of the house in 1834-6 by T.H. Wyatt for R.J. Blewitt.
Exterior
Road bridge over stream, tooled sandstone. Each side has single arch with panelled cusped ashlar spandrels and grotesque mask keystone to segmental arch. Moulded string course broken forward over keystone, high parapet and roll-moulded coping. Parapet ends are turned out to octagonal end piers with parapet roll-moulding scrolled out on caps.
Reason for designation
Included as an attractive estate bridge of the earlier C19.
