About: Caerhowel Bridge

Caerhowel Bridge (Welsh: Pont Caerhywel) is a two-arch cast-iron, Grade II listed bridge over the River Severn, west of , Powys, Wales. The 6.6-metre-wide (22 ft) bridge was built on the site of a previous bridge which was possibly destroyed around the late 13th century. A redesigned timber bridge was destroyed after the River Severn flooded in 1852 and a subsequent bridge fell in 1858. The present-day bridge was designed by Thomas Penson making it the third cast-iron bridge in Montgomeryshire and was renovated in the early 21st century.
