Overview

From the ancient castle ruins, site of the last dragon in Wales, we'll follow lanes and footpaths westwards with some great views across the Teifi valley.  Reaching the new boardwalk along the riverside, we'll head for our lunch stop at pretty Cenarth falls.

Crossing the old stone bridge we pass the Coracle Centre and go through the churchyard to reach a footpath through open fields.  We climb up an old wooded trackway and follow the ridge eastwards, back to the busy town of Newcastle Emlyn.
