Cenarth Bridge, Stone bridge in Cenarth, Wales.
Built with three stone arches spanning different widths of 11.6, 11.9, and 12.2 meters, the bridge features ashlar masonry and rubble stone construction.
David Edwards designed and constructed this bridge between 1785 and 1787, replacing an earlier crossing that existed at the site since at least 1188.
The bridge connects the counties of Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, serving as a vital link in the regional transportation network across the River Teifi.
The structure operates with a 20 mph speed restriction and carries the A484 road, though it lacks dedicated pedestrian footpaths for crossing.
The bridge contains two cylindrical holes in its spandrels, engineered to reduce structural weight and allow flood waters to pass through during heavy rainfall.
