Roman Bridge (Penmachno)
Roman Bridge (Penmachno) submitted by w650marion : Known as the "Roman Bridge" and spanning the Afon Machno by the Conway Falls, Betws y Coed. It is now considered to be of 16th- or 17th-century date. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Trackway in Wales

Sadly, probably not Roman (although named as such on the Ordnance Survey map), it's probably 16th or 17th century. Quite picturesque, a short walk down from the Conway Falls car park.
