About this title

Synopsis

A Descriptive Account Of The Devil’s Bridge, Hafod, Strata Florida Abbey, And Other Scenery In. Cardiganshireis a late 18th-century travel tract guiding readers through a celebrated Welsh landscape from Hereford to Aberystwyth. It surveys the approach to the Devil’s Bridge over the Rhyddol, describes the double-arched bridge and the surrounding chasm, the Hafod estate of Thomas Johnes, and the secluded Strata Florida Abbey ruins. The text blends historical notes, topographical narration, and practical advice for visitors, including recommended routes, inns, and safety considerations. It presents the scenery with a mix of awe and affection, citing contemporaries such as Cumberland and praising Hafod's picturesque woodlands, cascades, and architectural interiors. The narrative functions both as a guidebook and a celebration of the picturesque, balancing measured description with local lore, biographical references to the estate's owners, and reflections on how art and nature cohere in this remote corner of Cardiganshire. This is the fourth edition, dated 1796, reflecting its enduring popularity as a travel companion to Welsh scenery.
