The Devil's Bridge
I definitely felt the mystic of the place as we had it all to ourselves in the autumn rain last year.
Of course watching episode 1 of Hinterland I was so excited.
(I know I'm late to the show, but I'm there now)
3 bridges, all built upon the top of the previous one.
But the name? Here's the usual legend:
.. the original bridge was built by the very Devil himself, as it was too difficult for mortals to build. The Devil agreed to build the bridge in exchange for the soul of the first being to cross the bridge. However he was tricked of his prize by a canny old woman, who threw bread across the bridge, which her dog ran after, thus becoming the first ‘being’ to cross the new bridge.
