From the Wikipedia article

The Cenarth Falls is a cascade of waterfalls just upstream of the road bridge in the village of Cenarth in Ceredigion, bordering Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is notable as the first significant barrier on the River Teifi that salmon and migratory sea trout encounter on their return to their home river as they make their way upstream to spawn. Because of this, and the very attractive setting of the falls in a natural wooded valley, the falls have become a significant visitor attraction in Ceredigion, including in the autumn when the fish can be watched leaping up the falls.

Background

History

]] A water wheel-powered mill is known to have been at Cenarth Falls from the 13th century, first recorded in 1298 when Edward I became Lord of the Manor of Cenarth. A dramatic painting of the falls was made in 1878 by artist Frank Miles and is now at Nottingham City Museum. Miles's father inherited Cardigan Priory from his father, Philip John Miles, but lived in Nottinghamshire as Rector of Bingham. The less well-known Henllan Falls a few miles upstream of Cenarth provides similar opportunities to watch fish migration.
