Background
History
The bridge was rebuilt in 1737 (indicating an earlier bridge existed) and probably rebuilt in the 19th century. The CADW citation says: It was listed as the best example of the several bridges over Afon Cych. It carries a minor road that leads to the village of Llanfyrnach from the Cych valley. The north parapet of the bridge carries an Ordnance Survey cut mark, marking a point 46.47 m above mean sea level. There is a recently working hydro-power installation at the bridge, according to the British Hydropower Association's 2014 map of the UK. In 2017, it caused some concern from Natural Resources Wales in respect of its construction design.
