List of crossings of the River Dee, Wales

List of existing and some former crossings of the River Dee downstream of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). Upstream of the lake where the River Dee is little more than a stream, there are at least 9 crossings mainly for farm access and forestry. Note that dates for medieval bridges are somewhat subjective given the frequent repairs, rebuilds and widenings.
