From the Wikipedia article
Mynach Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr Mynach), also known as the Devil's Bridge Falls (or Devil's Bridge Waterfall(s)), is a waterfall in Devil's Bridge, near Aberystwyth, in Ceredigion, Wales. It occurs where Afon Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets Afon Rheidol. The area is famous for the Devil's Bridge (Welsh: Pontarfynach, 'bridge over the Mynach [river]'), a series of three arch bridges that span the river, one above the other. The area near the waterfall is the terminus of the Vale of Rheidol Railway.
