Devil’s Bridge, situated in Ceredigion in Mid-Wales, is a strikingly unusual structure, which rises high above the River Mynach. It stands at the point where the river drops 300 feet down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol.

The bridge, surrounded by stunning natural beauty, river valleys and a steep waterfall, is a haven for hikers and nature lovers and a point of interest for tourists from around the world.

Devil’s Bridge is unusual in that three separate bridges co-exist one top of the other. The most recent is an iron bridge, constructed in 1909. This was built over a stone structure, dating back to 1753, which was built when the original bridge of 1075 was thought to be unstable.

According to Welsh legend, the original bridge was made by the devil in exchange for the soul of the first living creature to cross it. It was believed it was too dangerous for a mortal to build across the valley.

Close to the bridge stands Devil’s Bridge Falls. You can follow the nature trail or descend the 100 steps of Jacob’s Ladder to discover the spectacular 300 foot waterfall, with views of Devil’s Bridge and the stunning woodland gorge from below.

For a truly unique experience, take a steam train from one of Wales’ major cities, such as Aberystwyth, to Devil’s Bridge railway station. From here you can walk the remaining five minutes to the ancient, majestic bridge and spend a day exploring the surrounding area.

The hotel was perfectly adequate for our requirements, as an overnight stay for a big gig at the Principality Stadium. Our main concern was that the hotel appeared under-staffed. The staff we met were as helpful as they could be, but were trying to manage reception and the bar at a busy check-in time.
