Description

Pont Groes Gwta is a two-span bridge built in 1896. It features a slightly ramped deck and two small round arches, with the southern arch being smaller. The eastern side of the southern arch has a very small opening with an almost flat arch. The bridge is constructed of coursed grey masonry and includes a string course, end piers, and parapets topped with saddleback copings. Additionally, the eastern side has a triangular cutwater. The date 1896 is engraved in the stonework and concrete pavement of the deck.

Local climate

Pont Groes Gwta sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,190 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
