A run of rocky falls on the River Teifi at Cenarth, long famous for leaping salmon and the coracle men who fished below them
At the village of Cenarth the River Teifi drops over a series of low rocky ledges rather than one big fall, the water splitting and foaming between the rocks beside an old stone bridge. In autumn the falls are a good place to watch salmon and sea trout leaping upstream to spawn. Cenarth is also tied up with coracle fishing — a coracle being the small, round, one-person boat, framed in wood and once covered in hide, that local men used to net salmon on the Teifi, and there’s a coracle centre in the village telling that story. You can view the falls easily from the bank and the bridge on foot. Newcastle Emlyn is a few miles upstream, and Cilgerran Castle stands above the same river to the west.
