Walks and a number of restaurants. Accessible by road or the Rheidol Railway. According to 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 life 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 ‘life’ to cross the new bridge. The area was once part of the vast Hafod Estate owned by Thomas Johnes. A tourist attraction for centuries, Devil’s Bridge was celebrated by author Geo​rge Borrow in his book Wild Wales (1854).
