Product Information

It had important links with the Welsh princes of Deheubarth, and was captured by rebel prince Owain Glyndwr in 1404.

It’s 23 miles down the coast from Aberystwyth, four beaches around a long bay with rows of colourful houses strung across the steep hilltop like festive ribbons.The trip to Devils Bridge is like stepping back in time to the 19 th century, with the train and then the sylvan setting of the famous waterfalls on the Afon Mynach. It's been a long time since I read the first one, though, and I did feel that I would have found it easier to get into this one faster had I recapped on Mon Amour.
