Tal-y-Cafn (Welsh meaning : "place opposite the ferry-boat") [1] is a small settlement in Conwy county borough, north Wales, in the community of Eglwysbach.

A medieval ferry, which operated from as early as 1301,[2] was replaced by a steel bridge of rivetted plates and angles on piers of concrete and masonry in 1897.

The chosen design by A. M. Hamilton is of interest, being a Callender-Hamilton type B10 bridge of unit construction and intended for rapid deployment in civilian and military applications.

The pre-fabricated steel sections are hot-dip galvanised for protection against corrosion, and no part is too heavy for two men to carry.

A livestock market was situated to the south of the railway level-crossing where there was previously a goods siding and loading dock.
