Pont Baldwyn: archbishop's bridge Just east of the hamlet of Felindre Farchog, the A487 crosses this mediaeval bridge over the Nant Duad. It is named after Archbishop Baldwyn of Canterbury who, in 1188, accompanied Giraldus Cambrensis (the great Welsh cleric, chronicler and traveller) on a recruiting tour of Wales in preparation for the third crusade. Tradition has it that they took this route to avoid a steeper climb. The Duad joins the Afon Nyfer shortly below the bridge.
