Llechryd Bridge is a post-medieval to modern stone bridge spanning the River Teifi in Wales. The bridge crosses bedrock composed of Ashgill rocks, undifferentiated mudstone, siltstone and sandstone of Ashgill age, which form the substantial geological foundation of the crossing point. This durable bedrock base has provided a stable platform for bridge construction and has influenced the siting and engineering of the structure throughout its development. The bridge is protected as a scheduled monument under Cadw, the Welsh historic monuments authority, under reference CD002. The River Teifi's passage through the Ashgill strata created the natural crossing point that made this bridge location strategically important for local communication and transport networks. The monument reflects the post-medieval and modern investment in improving Wales's infrastructure and remains a significant surviving example of bridge engineering from these periods.
