Pont Dyffrdwy

A substantial 4-span bridge constructed of random stone, with wide segmental arches of stone voussoirs with dripstones, and continuous rubble-stone parapets with large flat stone copings. Full-height triangular cut-waters between arches, which rise to form refuges on the narrow deck. The deck is humped to W end, but not to the E end where the ground rises. On the inside of the S parapet is a stone tablet reading 'Pont Dyffrdwy, Cynwyd, 1612 built, 1989 strengthened, Clwyd County Council'. The ends are slightly splayed out; stepped abutment to NE side; the SW end curves round at right angles following a lane. The NW abutment continues for some distance, then rises over 3 low segmental flood arches of stone voussoirs with dripstones; the parapets become progressively lower with concrete cappings. To the E of the flood arches is a flight of stone steps with metal handrail, which leads down to the riverside.
