Devil's Bridge, Mynach Valley, and the Arch.
This is possibly the least ‘wild’ of the walks that has appeared on the 'Wild Walking in the Aberystwyth Hinterland' website so far, starting and finishing in the well-known village of Devil’s Bridge with its tourist attractions. Nevertheless, there are several great ‘wild-ish’ walks around Devil’s Bridge and the Rheidol Valley. If you have visited the famous Mynach Falls, on this walk you will see where all that water is coming from by exploring the Mynach valley by one of two routes…from November until the end of June the higher path on the northern side of the valley (detailed here) is recommended, but it gets overgrown and hard work later in the summer. From July to October the bridle track along the south side of the river is a lot easier, and its soggy bits tend to dry out too (blue line on the static map, with no navigational issues). This walk also visits ‘Y Bwa’ (The Arch) built in 1810 as a gateway for Thomas Johnes’ nearby Hafod Estate. The English translation of the name of this place is ‘Head of the Valley of Lost Existence’.
