The Devil's Bridge sign has to be one of the most prominent items photographed along the route of the railway. Devil's Bridge, located about 3 kilometres from the station, is unusual in that three separate bridges coexistent, each one built upon the previous bridge. The most recently built is an iron bridge (1901), which was built over a stone bridge (1753), which was built when the original bridge was thought to be unstable. The builders of the 1753 bridge used the original bridge (built 1075-1200) to support scaffolding during construction. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres in five steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. According to legend, the original bridge was built after an old woman lost her cow and saw it grazing on the other side of the river. The Devil appeared and agreed to build a bridge in return for the soul of the first living thing to cross it. When the bridge was finished, the old woman threw a crust of bread over the river, which her dog crossed the bridge to retrieve, thus becoming the first living thing to cross it. Teufelsbrücke, (Devil's Bridge) located in the Schöllenen Gorge of Switzerland has a similar legend but instead of a dog it was a goat. The Devil do get around it seems.
