Rhandirmwyn Bridge Built in 1913, linking the 2 sides of the Towy valley by road beside the Towy Bridge Inn, the bridge is a rivetted girder construction.  Before the road bridge was built there was a footbridge and a drift ford, although in wet weather, you'd be brave to try to ford the Towy!  The road across the valley floor (left side of this picture) wasn't there before the bridge was built.
