Roman Bridge Penmachno is a stone arch bridge crossing the Afon Machno in the Conwy Valley, North Wales. Despite its name, the bridge dates from the medieval period rather than the Roman era, though it may occupy a site of Roman crossing significance. The structure demonstrates characteristic medieval masonry construction with a pointed arch, reflecting engineering practices of the medieval Welsh landscape. The bridge remains an important example of medieval river crossing infrastructure in the region and has been substantially maintained to preserve its historic fabric.
