History

This bridge presumably relates to the small cascade, the base of which it crosses and the cascade and the cave may be contemporary. The cave is known to have been in existence in 1828 and so this bridge may relate to that in which case it is part of the 2nd Lord Newborough's improvements. The adjacent iron bridge is however dated 1840 but the rubble bridges in the Llifon Valley tend to be earlier.

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.

Exterior

Simple, low, rustic rubble bridge with flat arch and parapets. Crosses the base of the small cascade.
