The Millrace from Caergwrle's Packhorse Bridge
The 1879 O.S. map records this channel as a millrace, although there is no sign of a mill on the map or on the ground. The channel for the River Alyn/Afon Alun is a few metres to the left. Viewed from the ancient packhorse bridge.

Footpath from Sarn Lane
Here Sarn Lane follows the square field boundary whilst this footpath takes the direct line across the corner. The name of the lane suggests that there was a Roman road nearby, but if so it would not have had a right-angled corner. The tower of Hope church can be seen in the far distance.

Caergwrle's Packhorse Bridge
Looking at the ancient packhorse bridge from alongside the River Alyn/Avon Alun. The additional arches, which appear to be redundant, allow excess water to pass under the bridge at times of flood. The bridge was badly damaged by floods in November 2000 and was restored in 2001.

Pack horse bridge over the River Alyn
Pack horse bridge over the River Alyn
16th century bridge on a path linking Caergwrle and Hope. The low parapets allowed for wide loads and panniers carried by pack animals to overhang the river, whilst the triangular refuge allowed pedestrians to make way for the passage of pack animals.

Caergwrle's Packhorse Bridge/Y Bont Pynfarch
Looking across the historic packhorse bridge at Caergwrle. The recent high water has subsided but there is still a strong flow of water through the multiple arches. At the first kink in the bridge there is a set of steps on the right, down to the island between the two river channels; this was to provide access to the sluice gates that once controlled the flow of water to the riverside mills.
