Description
Barth Bridge is a public road bridge over the River Dee, with an attached causeway that crosses a meadow to the south. It was built in the late 18th century and is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble. The bridge features a single segmental arch made of rubble voussoirs, a squinch at the north-west corner, and slightly humped parapets with chiselled rounded coping. The parapets extend south along a straight causeway, which includes a series of low segmental-arched flood sluices set within rectangular panels.
