Llangollen Bridge is built across the River Dee at the North end of the high street of Llangollen in the county of Denbighshire in North-east Wales. The Bridge is listed as one of the seven wonders of Wales[1] and is a Grade I listed building.
There has been a bridge across the Dee at Llangollen since at least 1284,[2] though the current bridge appears to date to the 16th or 17th century when an earlier bridge was rebuilt.[2][3] The current bridge has been enlarged numerous times since then, doubling in width. The bridge is still in use.
The local high school Ysgol Dinas Bran graduating classes have a yearly tradition (oft discouraged) of jumping into the river Dee from the bridge.
