Pont y Pair is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Conwy at Conwy in North Wales. The bridge dates from the fifteenth century and represents an important example of late medieval bridge construction in Wales, built to facilitate communication and trade across the river. Its sturdy stone construction with multiple arches reflects the engineering standards of the period and the strategic importance of crossing points in medieval settlement patterns. The bridge remains substantially intact and forms part of Conwy's significant medieval townscape, which also includes the famous castle and town walls built by Edward I.
