Conwy Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in Conwy, Wales.
The Conwy Suspension Bridge extends 99.7 meters across the River Conwy, featuring iron chains and a wooden platform supported by stone towers.
Thomas Telford completed this engineering achievement in 1826 to replace a ferry service that transported people and goods across the River Conwy.
The bridge received Grade I listed status for its architectural importance and stands next to Conwy Castle, forming part of the town's historical landscape.
The National Trust maintains the pedestrian bridge and charges an entrance fee, while offering informational displays about its construction and engineering.
The bridge's asymmetric silhouette results from one tower's proximity to the castle's outer wall, creating an architectural connection between both structures.
