Conwy Suspension Bridge

The Conwy Suspension Bridge is a Grade I listed suspension bridge featuring castellated towers. Each tower consists of a pair of round turrets with blind loops, spanning a segmental arch, and false machicolations leading to an embattled parapet. Rebuilt gas lamps are positioned above the arches on the outer faces.

The bridge deck is suspended from four tiers of original chains, with a fifth upper tier added later. On the eastern side, these chains are anchored to a freestone and concrete plinth, while on the western side, they are anchored to the base of the castle's eastern barbican and bedrock. The deck is surfaced with tarmac and features a painted balustrade made of diamond-lattice ironwork.

The turrets and abutments are constructed from rock-faced stone below the deck. On the northern (seaward) side, there is a corbelled walkway around the turrets at deck level, which was added in 1904. On the southern (landward) side, similar walkways have been modified to provide access to viewing platforms that are integrated with the main abutments. The western (castle) side features abutments that curve out to round terminal piers with stepped conical caps at parapet level. Each side's parapet includes a round pier with a conical cap adjacent to the main tower. On the northwest side, the parapet extends a short distance and has a gap filled with wrought-iron diamond latticework similar to that of the main bridge. The eastern abutment mirrors this design. On the southeast side, the wall extends to connect with the later railway bridge. On the northeast side, a retaining wall and parapet extend beyond the terminal pier, incorporating two corbelled round piers with conical caps, spanned by a diamond-lattice ironwork balustrade.

Low river walls on the northern side of the bridge are integrated with the Conway Bridge built in 1958.
