Heritage listing
Reason for designation: Included as a fine early C19 bridge, probably built in association with the emparkment of Penrhyn Park in its present form during the 1820s; typical of the bridges being built in association with road improvements in the area at this time. History: Although a bridge over the Afon Ogwen is shown on a map of 1804, the present structure was probably built during the 1820s simultaneously with the wall which was then being erected around the extended Penrhyn Park; the road on which the bridge is situated was once the main route from Bangor to Conwy but has now been superseded by the present A55 to the south. Exterior: Roughly coursed rubblestone with wide elliptical ashlar arch, enclosed by arch-ring; rubblestone parapets with triangular ashlar coping; abutments also of rubblestone on south side but with simple stone-on-edge coping; on the north side the abutments are formed by the wall to Penrhyn Park. Location: Spans the Afon Ogwen on the road between Llanygai and Tal-y-bont; park land of Penrhyn Park to north.
