Mynach Falls (in Welsh, Rhaeadr Mynach) is a beautiful waterfall in Wales. You can find it near the town of Aberystwyth in the county of Ceredigion. It's a really cool place to visit!
This amazing waterfall is formed by the River Mynach. The river drops a huge 90 meters (about 295 feet)! It flows down in 5 different steps through a very steep and narrow valley called a ravine. After its dramatic drop, the River Mynach joins up with the River Rheidol.
Discover Mynach Falls and Its Surroundings
Mynach Falls is famous for more than just its water. The area is also well-known for the incredible Devil's Bridge. In Welsh, this bridge is called Pontarfynach, which means "Bridge Over the Mynach River."
The Mystery of Devil's Bridge
Devil's Bridge is actually a series of three bridges built one on top of the other. It's a bit like a stack of bridges! Each bridge spans the river in an amazing way. People say the oldest bridge was built by the Devil himself because it was such a difficult task. Of course, that's just a fun legend!

You can ride the train and enjoy the stunning views of the valleys and rivers. It's a great adventure for families and friends!
