Cenarth, RAF Wellington 1944 bomber crash memorial, Pembrokeshire, West :Jeff Gilbert
On the borders of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, the historic village of Cenarth straddles the River Teifi, the two sides of the village linked by a uniquely designed 18th century bridge which sits just upstream from Cenarth’s beautiful falls in a naturally wooded valley. As the River Teifi flows through the heart of the village and under this bridge it meets a formation of hard rocks that interrupt the flow of the river and create a series of low tumbling waterfalls. The river here is teaming with salmon and trout and during the autumn months salmon can be seen leaping up stream. Footpaths line the northern bank of the river providing wonderful views of the cascading waterfalls and on the southern bank, still overlooking the falls, stands the 17th century flour mill that is now home to the National Coracle Centre. Cenarth is acknowledged as the birthplace of the Teifi coracle and coracle rides are available here during the summer months. Many quaint shops, delightful cafés and cosy pubs huddle close to the bridge housed in fascinating historic buildings including a thatched medieval pub built on the site of an old ale house. The Smithy Heritage Centre, a restored 18th century blacksmiths, offers an insight into the history of Cenarth and St Llawddog’s Church with its ancient well has features dating back to the 12th century. Surrounded by the outstanding natural beauty of the Teifi Valley, with its lush green landscapes and abundance of wildlife, the village itself is a designated conservation area and being just 6 miles east of Cardigan it is well placed for enjoying the spectacular beaches, quiet coves and rugged cliffs of the Cardigan Bay Heritage Coast Line.
