Devil's Bridge Falls Reviews Summary

Accessibility & Suitability

Pros:

• "It's definitely only suitable for able bodied and fit people as there's significant staircases and wet rocks."
• "Jacob's ladder is a fairly steep set of steps to descend for those who aren't great on their legs but manageable if you take your time."
• "Make sure you're prepared for uneven terrain, however there are handrails throughout and levels to take a quick breather and admire the scenery!"
• "Paths are well maintained. Although they are a bit rough and steep at times, steps and hand rails are always available where needed."
• "The walk is quite doable in an hour, time to take pictures and catch your breath every now and again included. the steps are quite uneven and steep at times."
• "The trail can be followed easily with sensible shoes and decent fitness."
• "Parking signs could be more clearer - there is a parking up the small hill just before the entrance to the bridge which is not paid."

Cons:

• "No good for disabled access sadly mostly due to the turnstile entrance."
• "The route has lots of steep and often slippery steps and pathes, so it is only suitable to the ones who can cope with such things."
• "The steps down to the falls itself are VERY steep indeed and not for the faint hearted or those uncomfortable with heights."
• "NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY."
• "Steps are very steep, not child friendly unless their 10 I'd say, not disable friendly e.g wheel chairs, or buggys, or push prams etc."
• "Not suitable for wheelchair users due to steep slopes and steps."
• "This walk is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility and I would think twice before bringing young children."

Value & Cost

Pros:

• "Admission price very cheap but take some water as you'll need it!"
• "£4 for entry to the longer walk. I think it is fantastic considering all the maintenance of the foliage and the pathways."
• "Lovely visit and well worth the £4 per adult!"
• "Cheap price, with very friendly staff, and all very worth it for the spectacular scenery and beautiful waterfall."
• "At £3.75 this is good value."
• "Well worth the money!"
• "Brilliant for the money £4/adult for the waterfall trail and £1/person for the devils punch bowl and better view of the three bridges."

Cons:

• "Not sure why it cost £4 each and then asked to pay more for the second part of the experience? Made no sense to me!!!"
• "Free parking, but having to pay to see a natural feature... I don't agree."
• "I am disappointed they charge so much for you to view the falls. It doesn't seem like there is a huge amount of maintenance or upkeep to be done here."
• "Was quite disappointed that it cost £4 to enter."
• "Over priced unfortunately."
• "Quite expensive entry, but it is private land, requiring maintenance and upkeep, so probably fair price."
• "It’s disappointing that it’s privatised. You are totally prevented from seeing the falls unless you pay to do so."

Scenery & Experience

Pros:

• "Some fantastic views of stunning waterfall and the stack of 3 bridges."
• "Listening to the roar of the water pounding the rocks in the Devil's punchbowl is one of the most amazing experiences."
• "Firstly, the location of Devil's Bridge Fall is stunning."
• "You also have the heritage railway that runs between Aberystwyth and devil's Bridge with spectacular scenery."
• "The views are incredible."
• "Great walk, great waterfalls, sitting and viewing areas dotted through the walk."
• "The punchbowl is incredible, brilliant to see how the beautifully clear water has literally smoothed the rock down."

Cons:

• "They probably should really look into making the Jacob ladders bit more secure....but typical council won't do anything till someone probably gets hurt."
• "It is a shame that the gates leading to the short path malfunctioned and me and my family ended up paying twice the amount."
• "The metal handrail around point 13 sticks out I hit my finger on it and my husband was helping me and he caught his ribs on it."
• "But was very not impressed by the attitude of the staff member who raised her voice in a rude manner when I was assisting a member of the public who was struggling to open a combination locked gate."
• "The extensive blurb mentioned fairy doors and things to lookout for which are no longer there."
• "There were a lot of old people struggling to walk around the path so it took ages to get past everyone."
• "But if you visit during hot summer then there is way less water."
