EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Roman Packhorse Bridge spanning the picturesque River Machno in the heart of North Wales. Dating back to the 14th century, this historic structure has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the passage of centuries and the ever-changing landscape around it. The bridge, located in the quaint village of Penmachno near Betws-y-Coed, has long been a popular attraction for visitors to the area. The serene river, with its crystal-clear waters, flows gently beneath the bridge, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding trees and the rich hues of the autumnal foliage. The bridge's intricate design showcases the remarkable engineering skills of the Romans, who built it as a vital trade route linking the coastal towns of Conwy and Anglesey to the inland markets of Wales. The bridge's arches, once used by packhorses laden with goods, now invite modern-day visitors to explore the scenic beauty of the Conwy Valley. This photograph, captured in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished. The lantern slide, with its warm, inviting glow, adds an enchanting touch to this timeless scene, inviting us to imagine the stories that this bridge has witnessed over the centuries. As we stand in awe of this magnificent structure, we are reminded of the enduring power of nature and the rich history that surrounds us. The Packhorse Bridge at River Machno is not just a testament to the past, but a living reminder of the beauty and resilience of the natural world.
