Description

Pont Newydd is a rubble-built bridge featuring two segmental arches, with stone voussoirs and a recessed design on the downstream side. The southern arch is wider and lower than the northern arch. On the upstream side, there is a broad triangular cutwater situated between the arches, with a slight projection on the widened side that likely indicates a former cutwater. The bridge has long parapet walls topped with both slate and stone-slab coping, which continue as retaining walls that are splayed to the northeast to help contain the river bank.

Local climate

Pont Newydd sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,270 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
