Pont Rhyd Felin over the Nant Melyn.
There is a wonderful country road that leads from Pumpsaint, through
Cwrt-y-cadno and eventually on to Cilycwm. It follows the course of the
river up the Cothi valley high into a mountain wilderness, before
crossing over to come down into the Tywi valley, joining the river Tywi just below Llyn Brianne.
A highlight on this journey is Pont Rhyd Felin. When driving across it
seems like an ordinary sort of bridge, but if you take the time to stop
and look around, you'll find it is one of the prettiest bridges in the
whole of Carmarthenshire. A small stream, Nant Melyn, cascades down the
mountainside, creating waterfalls on either side of the arch, before
continuing its journey down a rocky wooded valley to join forces with
the Gwenffrwd and a short distance later, the mighty Tywi itself.
