Caergwrle's Packhorse Bridge/Y Bont Pynfarch Late afternoon on the mid 17th century packhorse bridge at Caergwrle. One of the finest examples of its type in Wales it was restored in 2001 after flood damage. It features low walls to allow for the passage of bulging side packs, and the two triangular recesses allow pedestrians to step out of the way of a packhorse train.
