Description

Pont Pen-Y-Bedw is a 19th-century bridge constructed from rubble masonry. It features a cambered single arch with a low elliptical shape. The voussoirs of the arch are set slightly back under a shallow hood. There are two low flat-headed flood openings on each side of the arch. The width of the carriageway is 2 meters, and it has a low parapet.
