This is a pretty Grade II-listed bridge across the River Usk. Its three arches are constructed of red sandstone, the central of which is larger. Three circular tunnels cut through the structure between the arches, acting as a defence against flooding, which the Usk has a history of.

The bridge was built in 1821 for the road between Abergavenny and Usk. The neighbouring settlement of Llanvihangel Gobion is a quiet little village.

Pant-y-Goitre Bridge spans the River Usk between Abergavenny and Usk near Llanfair Kilgeddin village. It was built in 1821 by engineer John Upton and serves the B4598 road.

As part of improvements to the Abergavenny to Usk turnpike road, the bridge is made of ashlar and features three spans with circular voids.

Described as an "unusual and handsome design" by architectural historian John Newman, the bridge is listed as a Grade II structure.
