Cenarth

Cenarth is a village located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It lies on the River Teifi, close to the border with Pembrokeshire. The village is well-known for its picturesque waterfalls, which are a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. These falls were historically significant for salmon and sewin (sea trout) fishing, with fish traps and fishing weirs still visible in the area.

The history of Cenarth is closely tied to its riverine setting. For centuries, the Teifi was a vital source of sustenance and a means of transport. The waterfalls themselves provided a natural barrier and power source, leading to the development of mills in the vicinity. The village retains some of its traditional character, with stone-built cottages and a sense of rural tranquility.

One of the notable features of Cenarth is the ancient bridge that spans the River Teifi. This bridge, along with the surrounding scenery, contributes to the village's charm. In recent times, Cenarth has become a hub for outdoor activities, particularly fishing and walking along the riverbanks. The village also hosts local events and markets, celebrating its Welsh heritage and natural beauty. The National Coracle Centre, dedicated to the history of this traditional Welsh boat, is also located nearby.
