Summary Description

Before Telford built his bridge at Conwy Llanrwst was the lowest bridging point on the Afon Conwy. The bridge at Llanrwst is such that a driver coming up one side of the bridge cannot see what is coming up the other side. The stone coffin of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth was reputedly brought here from Maenan Abbey at dissolution. In C18 the town was a centre for clockmakers. Reference The Encyclopaedia of Wales
