Devil's Bridge (Welsh: Pontarfynach, lit. "The bridge on the Mynach") is a village and community in Ceredigion, Wales. Above the River Mynach on the edge of the village is a series of three stacked bridges, constructed hundreds of years apart, from which the village gets its English name. The village is on the A4120 road, about 10 miles (16 km) east of Aberystwyth. The population of Pontarfynach community at the 2011 census was 455. The mid-2016 estimate suggests that the population had dropped slightly to 429.

Afon Mynach (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈmənaχ]; also known as the River Mynach) is a river in Ceredigion, Wales. Its source is at the meeting of two smaller rivers, the Nant Rhuddnant and the Afon Myherin. Both of these streams have their sources in lakes high in the Cambrian Mountains: the Afon Myherin flows from two lakes known collectively as Llynnoedd Ieuan; the much larger Nant Rhuddnant passes through Llyn Rhuddnant, above which it is formed by the confluence of several smaller streams.The Afon Mynach is notable for the famous Mynach Falls in the village of Devil's Bridge (Pontarfynach), where the river plunges 90 metres into the gorge of the River Rheidol. It is also famous for the three bridges built one on top of the other in the same village, the lowest of the three said to be built by the devil (hence the name Devil's Bridge), but most probably built by the monks of Strata Florida.

Mynach Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr Mynach) is a waterfall near Aberystwyth in the county of Ceredigion, Wales. It occurs where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River 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.

Coed Rheidol National Nature Reserve forms part of the long ribbon of woodland adjoining the Afon Mynach and Afon Rheidol around the lower slopes of hills near Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion.

One of the most spectacular landscapes in Wales, fantastic views of the Rheidol waterfall and valley can be enjoyed at the top of this reserve.

Ystumtuen is a small village in northern Ceredigion, Wales. It is situated above the valley of the River Rheidol.It is situated on rocks rich in lead and silver and during a lengthy period in the 18th and 19th centuries, Ystumtuen was a bustling mining village. With the demise of the lead mining industry and in particular the closure of Cwm Rheidol mine, the population dwindled rapidly with the last ancestral population disappearing in the 1970s. This may in part have been due to the high lead content of the local spring sources. The village was re-populated for a time in the 1970s by hippy communities, and in recent years the population has been steadily increasing. There was a Youth Hostel run by the Youth Hostel Association in the old school, but this has now closed. The YHA sign was still there in 2021.
