The Weatherman’s Walk

Tuesday 20th May 2025

Following the Weatherman's circular walk from Devils Bridge...

Weatherman's Walk

We set off from the campsite, picked up a takeaway coffee from the Tea room attached to the site and set off - initially along the road past the Hafod hotel and further along past the Station for the Vale of Rheidol Railway.

We then turned off from the road and followed the walk through fields, along farm tracks, through native woodland, and pine forests, down into gorges, across bridges (and unfortunately up the other side 🥴).

At one point we had to cross the Vale of Rheidol Railway line and timed it right to see the train go by...

Rheidol Railway

After crossing the railway we dropped down to the Rheidol river.

A little further along we spotted the train again in the distance on its way back to Aberystwyth...

Gill soaking up the sunshine.

Spotted these two characters who came over for a photo just before our well earned lunch break.

Finally found the perfect  spot with a great view...

 

A little later we crossed a bridge which was about 30m above the gorge...

A little later we came across a small chapel (St John The Baptist).

Then a walk back along the road and across a field to the campsite.

A fantastic 8 mile round trip.
