Description

Pont yr Henblas is a bridge constructed from local rubble stone. It features three closely spaced rectangular openings that pass diagonally under the road, with each opening measuring approximately 1.2 meters wide and 1.5 meters high from the water level to the slate capping slabs. Each water pier is protected on the upstream side by a selected boulder cutwater. The flush spandrels rise into low flush stone-coped parapets, with the northern parapet curving at the western end.

Local climate

Pont yr Henblas sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,180 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 31 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.
