This 17th-century bridge spans the River Teifi and is listed as grade II. It's part of an old drovers' road. During periods of high water or heavy rain, the bridge might be completely underwater. In such cases, you'd need to go to Cardigan or Cenarth to cross the river.

Beautiful hidden gem in the middle of Ffynone woods which is situated in West Wales, about 7 miles south of Cardigan, in North Pembrokeshire. Located in a secluded valley, the woodlands extend to 325 acres 10% ancient woodland. Ranging from fairly flat valley bottom to steep valley sides, the woods have four rivers and a waterfall, with the remnants of the ancient woodland - including veteran oaks - mainly located around the river system.
