History

Probably part of the 2nd Lord Newborough's many improvements to the pleasure grounds in 1820's, though his brother the 3rd Lord Newborough continued to enhance the water features in this area of the grounds.

Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury. Influence for some of the garden features came from the family's grand tours.

Exterior

Simple rustic flat-arched rubble footbridge with parapets. Overgrown at time of inspection.
