Cenarth Bridge built in 1787 and still functional today carrying Pedestrian & Road traffic along the A484 road, across the County border from Carmarthenshire into Ceredigion, Wales.

"A bridge has existed at this spot since at least the 12th century — records show a bridge here in 1188. The present bridge, originally on the turnpike (toll) road from Carmarthen to Ceredigion, was constructed in 1785-87. It is likely to have been designed by David Edwards (b.1748), who was also responsible for Llandilo Yr Ynys Bridge (completed 1786) and Newport Bridge over the River Usk (built 1794-1801, dem. 1927).

Cenarth Bridge is of rubble stone and ashlar masonry, founded on rock. It has three broad elliptical segmental arches with slightly recessed arch rings. The spans between piers measure 11.6m, 11.9m and 12.2m. The bridge’s roadway is 4.75m wide and is without footways. Its parapet walls feature slate copings." Text Source; (visit link)
