Heritage listing
Reason for designation: Included as a substantial late C18 bridge of a characteristic type, important for its historical connection with the now-demolished Gothick villa at Ogwen Bank. History: Almost certainly built c1790 to connect Lord Penryhn s now demolished villa at Ogwen Bank, designed by Benjamin Wyatt, with Penrhyn Quarry. The Afon Ogwen here forms the boundary with Llanllechid community. Exterior: Roughly coursed rubblestone with slate slab coping and string course. Single wide segmental arch with voussoirs and arch-ring, coping slightly rising to centre; corner piers. Location: Spanning the Afon Ogwen immediately to the south-west of the A 5 at the entrance to the Ogwen Bank Caravan Park; carries a track over the river skirting the eastern side of the Penrhyn Slate Quarry.
From Cadw under OGL v3.
