Cardigan Bridge, a road bridge over the river Teifi, is thought to have been intially constructed in 13th century, it was partly rebuilt in 1726 and widened in 1872-3. Built of blue lias rubble stone, the 5-arch bridge has recessed cut-stone voussoirs to the arches and cutwaters on both sides, those on west obscured in 1872-3 widening. On east side the cutwaters are carried up to full height to form pedestrian refuges, except for one to south of centre which is capped short with plaque above 'This arch was built in the year 1726 W Jones'. There is a small flood arch at the south end. On the west side the original arches can clearly be seen under the 1872-3 more elliptical arches.
