The Conwy Suspension Bridge is a Grade I listed structure and is one of the world's first road suspension bridges. It is located in the medieval town of Conwy and is now only passable on foot. It originally took the road from Chester to Bangor.

Conwy Tubular Bridge was the first and is now the only surviving example of its type and remains in use. Its Grade I listing and scheduled ancient monument status reflect its importance to engineering heritage.
