Pont-y-Pair Bridge was originally built around 1500, before Thomas Telford built the Conwy suspension bridge. The Pont y Pair Bridge became an important focal point, as people were diverted to cross the river Conwy here. Llanrwst is a market town and community on the River Conwy, in Conwy County Borough, Wales, and the historic county of Denbighshire.

The bridge is still a main crossing point for traffic today. less
