We only had time to take the short 10 minute walk to see the 3 bridges and the Punchbowl. Very steep uneven stairs but a brilliant view of the bridges and the water pouring down the hillside into the water carved dish-like structure called the Punchbowl was amazing. It was a good way to break our journey. More

We decided not to go for a 45 min walk as it was a bit muddy and we thought our 7-8 yo kids will not let us enjoy the walk. They have got a short version just opposite the entrance to the 45 min walk there is an entrance to the waterfall. Beautifull and the view of the bridge itself... More

The Devil's Bridge walk provides wonderful views over beautiful scenery. However, the walk involves a steep descent into the valley, with subsequent ascent, along eneven paths and steps so care is needed during the walk - you also need to be reasonably fit. It would be a difficult walk with young children. However, the views along the walk are worth... More

The walks are not for the faint hearted but well worth the effort of the climb down and back up the falls. More

A must see if you're in the area http://www.devilsbridgefalls.co.uk/. Devil's Bridge is a short drive from Aberystwyth. You can also take the scenic steam railway (Vale of Rheidol Steam Railway) to a parking lot near the bridge. The benefit to driving is that you can visit the falls and hike before the first train arrives and have the place to... More

The water falls were well worth a visit but beware, as the falls are so steep, there are a LOT of steps! More
