Miner's Bridge, Pontrhydygroes. Descriptive text from website: www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hills/pp/miners.htm (active in 2005)

" Plynlimon Heritage Trust, on behalf of Pentir Pumlumon, has obtained 100% funding to build a new footbridge at the site of the former Miners' footbridge over the River Ystwyth in Pontrhydygroes. The bridge is on the site of one built in the mid nineteenth century, when Pontrhydygroes was the centre of a thriving lead-mining industry. The old bridge is thought to have collapsed around 1920. An information board nearby explains the history of the site. The grant is from Cydcoed, which funds projects in Objective 1 areas of Wales to create woodland or improve existing woodland. The new bridge will provide direct access on foot into Coed Maenarthur from the village of Pontrhydygroes, and will also enable the spectacular gorge of the River Ystwyth to be easily viewed. "
Construction work on the new bridge was begun in October 2001 and officially opened on 27th September 2002.
