River YstwythPlynlimon Heritage Trust, on behalf of Pentir Pumlumon, obtained 100% funding to build a new footbridge at the site of the former Miners' footbridge over the River Ystwyth in Pontrhydygroes. The bridge is on the site of one built in the mid nineteenth century, when Pontrhydygroes was the centre of a thriving lead-mining industry. The old bridge is thought to have collapsed around 1920. An information board nearby explains the history of the site.

Mammals: We have information about Badger

Birds: We have information about Red kite
