Devil's Bridge

Raining again this morning, so we just went into Aberystwyth and did some shopping, then had a look at the National Library of Wales on the way back. Surprisingly, it was closed. Presumably it doesn't open on Sundays. We couldn't see any signage listing the opening hours.

After lunch, the rain stopped and so I took the chance to do the walk to view the waterfalls at Devil's Bridge. As we've had quite a bit of rain over the last couple of days, I thought I'd better do the walk while I could or I might miss out!!!

There are two walks - one on each side of the bridges. The better of the two is described as "arduous" due to the many steep, uneven steps - particularly the part known as "Jacob's Ladder". The walk was well worth doing; it was really beautiful. But I must say, I'm glad that I brought my boots!! I have uploaded some photos, and the web site explains the legend of Devil's Bridge.

I did both walks, as the easier of the two walks is on the other side of the bridge and gives different views. This one gives a better view of the bridge from further up the river, and includes the magnificent "punchbowl", where the effect of erosion of the swirling waters can be seen.

I'm glad that I got the chance to do these walks; it would have been a shame to have missed them.
