More about this scene
This wooden bridge lies on the line of the Roman road, Sarn Helen. A popular destination of walkers, it was built to allow the miners of Pentre Du to reach the mines in the hills; a mile west of Betws-y-Coed, paths lead through the meadows to this steeply-inclined gangway across the river.

Bridges
Classic photographs of all sorts of bridges from The Francis Frith Collection, spanning modest streams, rivers and broad estuaries. They include footbridges, clapper bridges, pack-horse bridges, medieval arched bridges, toll bridges, decorative Palladian bridges, suspension bridges, bascule bridges, canal bridges, and railway bridges. Evocative and atmospheric, these stunning images show British engineering at its most innovative and graceful.
