Cenarth Falls

About

Cenarth Falls, located on the River Teifi in the heart of Carmarthenshire, offers visitors an unforgettable display of natural beauty. This dramatic cascade of small waterfalls and tranquil pools plunges over a deep ravine, creating a dramatic salmon leap that has been celebrated by locals and photographers for centuries. The falls sit at the edge of a rural parish on the border of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, making them easily accessible from nearby towns such as Cardigan and Newcastle Emlyn. Beyond the waterfalls, the visitor centre boasts guided walks through the surrounding countryside, providing context on the area’s rich history and the ecological importance of the Teifi valley. Visitors can explore the historic 13th‑century Cenarth Mill, now a museum, and learn about the traditional craft of making coracles—small, lightweight boats made from willow reeds. With a free entry policy (parking found at £3 per car, 9 am–6 pm), Cenarth Falls is an ideal stop for families, nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike looking to experience Wales’s picturesque scenery without a hefty ticket price.
