Description

Pont Dologau is a road bridge that features a rough rubble stone construction, designed to appear rustic with deeply raked joints that mimic dry stone. It has a large single arch that is set high above the cascades of the Ystwyth River, with recessed long rough stone voussoirs of alternating lengths. The original parapets have been removed and replaced with a 20th-century wooden rail, and the bridge has a narrow roadway.
