Bridge across the River Taf at St. Clears.

Bridge over the River Taf at St. Clears.



St. Clears Bridge is on the community boundary of Llanddowror and St. Clears.
 It is a Grade II listed building because it is a broad-span single arch bridge with distinctive spandrel holes, built in the manner of the pioneering design by William Edwards at Pontypridd in the 18th century
