  Devil’s Bridge has a Nature trail that can take in the Rheidol Gorge. The 90 m (300 ft) Devil’s Bridge Falls drops in five sections down the steep and narrow ravine, with a set of stone steps, known as Jacob’s Ladder, leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall. The bridge is very unusual in that it is actually 3 bridges, built one on top of the other. You have the iron bridge (1901), which was built over a stone bridge (1753), which was built when the original bridge(built 1075–1200) was thought to be unstable. Visit Robbers Cave, an old hideout place next to the waterfall.
