Sightseeing
3 bridges, one on top of another, across a river that tumbles in huge waterfalls on its way to join the Rheidol.
There are two walks (both with a small admission charge) that let you see different parts of the bridges and waterfalls. The main entrance - only for the physically fit - has many steps, some quite steep, that allow great views of the waterfalls as they tumble 90m / 300ft.

Beautiful walks and cycle tracks through beautiful scenery. Red Kites are abundant here - especially at feeding time! There's a great cafe too with HD CCTV to watch the kites in comfort. A shortish, reasonably level walk, passes kite viewing points and hides.

A trip into this mine is a step back into history with everything pretty much as it was left when the miners went off to war. A real eye-opener to what life was like for working in that environment.
