Llawhaden Bridge is a Grade II* listed arch bridge spanning the Eastern Cleddau river near Llawhaden village in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The present structure dates from the mid-18th century.[1][2]
A 1740 engraving of Llawhaden Castle shows the bridge with five arches and another in 1769 shows the bridge with possibly more than seven. The bridge fell into decay over the rest of the century and John Rees of Nevern was contracted to repair it in 1809. Subsequent rebuilding reduced the arches to three.[1][2]
