Description

Pont Ty-gwyn is a bridge constructed from local stone rubble. It features a single arched span, supported by rock on either side, situated above a river that flows through rapids beneath a stone sluice, possibly associated with a former mill. The arch includes slightly inset voussoirs, with a regulating course positioned above. The spandrels and the bowed flush parapets are topped with sharply keeled flush coping on both sides.

Local climate

Pont Ty-gwyn sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,210 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
