Llangollen Bridge is a stone arch bridge crossing the River Dee in Denbighshire, Wales, constructed in the fourteenth century. The bridge comprises a single span of approximately 57 feet and was built to facilitate transport across the river at what became an important crossing point in the Dee valley. Its sturdy stone construction and engineering design are characteristic of medieval bridge building, and the structure has undergone repairs and modifications over subsequent centuries whilst retaining its essential medieval form. The bridge remains a significant example of fourteenth-century Welsh civil engineering and continues to carry traffic as a key transport link within Llangollen.
