Y Bont Fawr

Reviewed By 923Dan - Swindon, United Kingdom

The Y Bont Fawr is a stunning old stone bridge over the River Conwy in Llanrwst. A little bit of a traffic bottleneck on the way back from Conwy heading south on a Friday at rush hour, as its narrow with no passing places. Still a special old stone bridge - well worth stopping by to admire or as we did drive over. Amazing that its still standing!

Barmouth Bridge

Barmouth Bridge, 150 years old in 2017. Currently free for pedestrians and cyclists to cross between Barmouth and Fairbourne. Once on the Fairbourne side, there is a path into Fairbourne itself, or you can travel up the famous Mawddach Trail along the disused railway line towards Dolgellau via the George the III pub.

Penmaenpool Toll Bridge

Reviewed By traveldiaryuk - Tamworth, United Kingdom

This is a Grade II listed wooden toll bridge, which spans the Mawddach river, and was built in 1879 by the Pernmaenpool Bridge Company to replace a ferry across the river. A cottage was added about a century ago. A footpath and cycle track run along the former railway which runs alongside the bridge - the Mawddach Trail - which is highly popular. There is a public footpath on the other side.

Pont-y-Pair Bridge

Reviewed By mac8888 - Phoenix, United States

We stayed at the Bryn Afon right next to the Pont-y-Pair So we saw the bridge in the morning, the evening, with cloudy and clear skies. A beautiful old stone bridge. My favorite in that part of Wales. I always marvel at 600 year old structures that are still in use even after centuries of the stresses of flooding etc. Loved the sounds of the river cascading over the rocks. A short walk from the train station where many tour busses stop. Suprised that most tourists do not make the walk to catch a view of this historic bridge Shared one picture below...but took many more Time you should spend...If you are a photographer you can spend several hours here.

A great structure, iconic for Anglesey. Easy to walk across but if you park in Menai Bridge and head to the coastal path you can get up close to it

The Chain Bridge

Reviewed By 923Dan - Swindon, United Kingdom

Driving west from Llangollen, stopped off to admire the Chain Bridge, strung across the river to the west of Llangollen. Stunning metal Chain-Link Bridge over the River for foot passage. Well worth taking a detour to.
