What is recorded here

Hensol Castle Bridge is a Post Medieval bridge in the Vale of Glamorgan. It is the kind of place where stone, water and memory tangle together, and where a bridge may have carried carts, lovers, fugitives or ordinary people going home. The castle name suggests power, but the bridge itself belongs to everyone who crossed it.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hensol Castle Bridge as Bridge from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Hensol Castle Bridge was built in the 16th or 17th century as part of the estate of Hensol Castle, which was held by the Morgan family, later Earls of Hensol. The bridge is important as a historical feature associated with the development of the Hensol estate and as an example of early post-medieval bridge construction in Wales.
