More about this scene
The English name associates the bridge with a story in which the devil is tricked, while the Welsh name (Pontarfynach) suggests that it was built by the monks of Strata Florida. There are now three bridges. The first is possibly medieval; the second was built in 1753, but improved in 1814; and the last was built by the County Council in 1901. Nearly 10,000 people visited the site in 1865 - hence the need for steps and railings.
