Cadw's description
Location
On a minor road S of Hergest Farm, spanning the River Edw approximately 1.25km NE of Llanbadarn-y-garreg church.
Exterior
A C19 single-span humped-back, single-carriageway bridge of coursed rubble stone. The segmental arch has thin voussoirs. The coped parapet has been partly rebuilt in the late C19 with rock-faced stone. The abutments are splayed out on the N side. On the SE side the abutment returns at R angles and is attached to a ruined building on the river bank.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine and well-preserved C19 vernacular style road bridge.
