Pont-y-Cim Clynnog - Cim Bridge Clynnog

Location

The bridge is c800m from the main A499 at the hamlet of Pontllyfni, and carries a minor road over the Afon Llyfni (Llyfnwy).

 

History

The bridge was built in 1612 at the expense of Catherine Buckley at the cost of 20, in memory, it is said, of her fiance who was drowned crossing the river here. It was in need of repair, as presented to the quarter sessions in 1750, and was widened by 75 cm on the upstream side later, the widening seriously damaged by a flood in 1935 after which it was reduced to its original width.
