Penmachno Bridge
Penmachno Roman Bridge is an elegant single-span packhorse bridge across the Afon Machno south of Betws-y-Coed.
Despite the name, it is not Roman, but dates to the 17th century, though it is entirely possible that it stands on the site of an earlier Roman bridge.
The bridge -- Roman or not -- is a beautiful historical structure.
It has a span of roughly 10m (33 feet) and is 3m wide (10 feet). Each end springs from an abutment with splayed sides for reinforcement. Some cobbles remain on the bridge deck.
The River Machno, or Afon Machno in Welsh, is a major tributary of the River Conwy, and runs from the upper reaches of the Penmachno valley and runs north to the River Conwy, falling -- literally -- over Penmachno Falls and the impressive Conwy Falls before its confluence with the larger river.
