Description

Aber Bridge is a single-span, segmental arched river bridge, likely dating from the 18th century. The bridge is constructed with dressed stone voussoirs, featuring a tooled and dated keystone. The surrounding masonry is of coursed rubble. Below a string course, the masonry around the arch is slightly recessed, and above the string course, the parapet is of uncoursed rubble with saddleback coping stones closely set crosswise.

Local climate

Aber Bridge 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 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 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.
