History

Possibly part of the 2nd Lord Newborough's many improvements to the pleasure grounds in the 1820's given that one of these bridges carries a path up to the Hermitage which was built c1825. The rubble bridges in the valley tend to be earlier than the iron ones.

Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury.

Exterior

Simple single-arched rustic rubble footbridge with flat deck carrying a path over a small waterfall, one of the many water features within the Llifon Valley.
