Roman Bridge at Penmachno
STORY
When I first learned about this bridge a few years ago, it became of high priority to visit next time we were in Snowdonia. That dream came true when finally, on a mild autumnal afternoon, my family and I wandered through the village of Penmachno to see if we could find the bridge. Thanks to a local, he pointed us towards a small opening in the wood that would lead us down to the river for a stunning view. Through bramble and mud, we eventually found our way to the riverbank. That view vista looking back towards the bridge silenced us in quiet reverence. Surely we had stepped out of our real life and into a storybook. The kids skipped stones across the pristine waters unmoved by the bridge. Most definitely a moment to remember.
Though this is referred to as the Roman Bridge, in fact, the packhorse bridge itself dates to the middle ages. Most likely from the 15th century. The stone bridge connects an ancient roman road that was once part of the Cistercian Way. The village was once of importance to the early Christian movement. Later it was home to a woolen mill. Now, it is a sleepy village tucked away off the Conwy River.
