This is a Packhorse bridge at Minllyn near Dinas Mawddwy. A nearby notice states:

"This packhorse bridge over the River Dovey was built sometime during the first half of the seventeenth century by the Rector of this Parish the eminent Welsh scholar, Dr. John Davies." It is in the care of Cadw. The packhorse bridge was replaced by the bridge behind it which has itself been replaced by a third bridge.

Lovely crystal clear waters. That fist bridge does not look safe to me.... Mind you, it has been there longer than my nana's, nana's nana.
Did you take this on your x pro 1 Daz?
