About this walk
Devil's Bridge Falls is an easy 2.1 km circular walk with 110 m of ascent, taking 0.5 to 1 hours. It starts at Devil's Bridge (grid reference SN 741 771).
At Devil's Bridge three bridges span the gorge of the Afon Mynach one above the other, the lowest medieval, the top one from 1901. The nature trail (entry charge) drops by Jacob's Ladder, a steep staircase, to the foot of the Mynach Falls, 90 m of water in five leaps, and climbs back up the other side. The Vale of Rheidol steam railway runs here from Aberystwyth.
