This place is a gem. A bit of an oasis in a desert if you are on your bike and want a hot drink or to fill your water bottles. It is an honesty cafe in a house opposite Moduron Hafod Garage. Especially helpful if you are doing the Trans Cambrian Way in 3 days, just stay on the road at Ysbyty Ystwyth and drop down to Pont-rhyd-y-groes. You will have to climb back up to rejoin the route though (Hafodty road is most direct but steep!)

To view the stunning gorge and three bridges, it costs £2 per person. There's a small free car park and a café for refreshments. The path is very narrow and consists of steep stairs. Not suitable for unfit people. It only takes 10mins to complete the short loop. The three bridges show a history of crossing the gorge through the centures. The first and lowest bridge was built by monks in 11th century. Around 1754 a second bridge (middle bridge) was built on top if the first, with ornate iron railings. In 1901 the third bridge was built, again with a modern copy of the iron original railings.

Well worth stopping and admiring if enroute and depending on your love for engineering may well be worth the detour, too.
