An absolutely beautiful and thoroughly picturesque attraction in the heart of Devil's Bridge in Mid Wales. The attraction comprises of two walks which are The Waterfall and Nature Trail and the Punchbowl and Three Bridges walks where you can see the beautiful Waterfalls up close and personal & also observe spectacular views of the 3 bridges. The Waterfall and Nature Trail is the more challenging of the two walks and lasts approx 45 mins to do it and the Punchbowl walk takes approx. 10 mins. Be warned though the Waterfall Walk is very steep in places and not for the faint hearted. During the Warerfall Walk you enjoy spectacular breathtaking view of the gorge and the other side of the Valley and you can see the crashing down the hillside showing their definitive natural power. The Punchbowl is the easier of the two and definitely more fun. As you complete the circuit of the Waterfall Wlak and as you make for way you catch a right glimpse of the waterfalls, which are simply amazing and spectacular awesome sight to behold. The Punchbowl you can enjoy beautiful views of the Three Bridges and marvel how well maintained. Tickets for the falls can be purchased in advance or on the date at the kiosk and strong sturdy footwear is recommended due to how steep it is in places. There is a cafe opposite the kiosk which sells a range of food amd drink at reasonable prices and there is a gift shop a small amount of gifts . Overall this is an amazing and outstanding place to visit which makes for a lovely and liberating day out. Well worth a visit whilst in the area of...
Read moreWe visited today- it was raining quite heavy, but we still had a great time!
This place is stunning- the climb down is not for the faint hearted, those who are uncomfortable with heights or physically challenged. It’s uneven, steep, very close to the edge most of the time, but breathtaking, it’s SO worth it!
I have tried to show some examples in my photos of what the path is like, but the photos don’t do the severity of the steepness justice! Sturdy shoes or boots are a must- it was really wet and slippery when we went today, but this required a good sole/grip even in the dry.
The Devils Bridge falls walk took us 45mins (it was lashing down and we didn’t spend long at the various view points) it cost £11 for 1 adult and 2 children (the car parking is free though so I took that into consideration for the cost) If you have never done it- it’s definitely worth it- but I don’t personally feel we would return now we have done it.
The additional cost of £2pp to enter the Punch Bowl is a little kick in the teeth- and it’s 10 mins max round the little loop to view the start of the water fall- this was disappointing.
The staff were lovely- The tea and cake in the little cafe/gift shop were delicious and very reasonably priced.
We are glad to have done it, and you won’t regret it, but it’s not a...
Read moreDo this if you dare/if your legs are made of pure steel🤣 this was absolutely exhausting 🙈
The good bits: views are absolutely 5🌟- my jaw dropped seeing the waterfall and you can look out over the river and woodland from various little lookout spots. It cost £5 for entry and a map of the trail which is a steal imo for this attraction!
HOWEVER. The steps are VERY slippery and VERY steep (there were sections I had to climb on my hands and knees), and the paths are incredibly narrow. I felt unsafe at times due to the condition of the steps and some railings. I wouldn't reccomend this for anyone who isn't stable on their feet or has mobility struggles!
Marketed as dog🐶 friendly; it's not. My medium/large dog had a difficult time navigating the steps and the paths, and the way back out onto the road is through a 6ft turnstile I couldn't fit him into. He slipped several times on the steps. I wouldn't encourage any visitors to take dogs with them. During my visit I saw a couple with a young child who was also struggling, so I'd really re consider bringing little ones along.
The person at the kiosk was very unfriendly and quite rude. I had several questions and they were very dismissive. I wouldn't reccomend a visit and won't be returning myself...
