Conwy Railway Bridge is a pioneering tubular wrought-iron bridge designed by Robert Stephenson, completed in 1849. It carries the North Wales Coast Line across the River Conwy, adjacent to the medieval town walls. Visitors can view the bridge from the nearby Conwy Suspension Bridge or the castle, appreciating its innovative box-girder design that influenced later railway bridges. The structure is a testament to Victorian engineering and remains in active use, offering a glimpse into 19th-century industrial heritage.
