Llangynidr Bridge

The six-arched stone bridge extends 69 meters across the River Usk with pedestrian refuges positioned at each cutwater section.

Built around 1700, this structure replaced an earlier bridge from 1630, which itself succeeded a wooden crossing documented in a 1587 land survey.

The bridge forms part of the architectural heritage within the Hundred of Crickhowell, sharing design elements with other regional river crossings.

The structure carries the B4560 road toward Bwlch, with a 2.4-meter wide roadway accommodating modern vehicular traffic.

The bridge features V-shaped cutwaters that rise to parapet level, creating spaces where pedestrians can step aside from passing vehicles.
