Llangynidr Bridge - Added to Bridges in Powys, Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Llangynidr Bridge is an early 18th-century bridge that crosses the River Usk to the north of Llangynidr, Powys, Wales and is thought by some to be the oldest bridge on the River Usk

It is similar in style to the Crickhowell Bridge over the Usk, which dates from 1706. It has six arches, is 69 m (230 ft) long and the road is 2.4 m (8 ft) wide so a very tight squeeze to drive over…

The bridge became a Grade II listed structure in 1952; it was upgraded to Grade I in 2003 as one of the best early road bridges in Wales, ranked equally with Crickhowell Bridge.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 19/05/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.

Crickhowell Bridge has one more arch on the downstream side than on the up, as the channel spits halfway through!.
