Devil's Bridge

The Devil's Bridge near Aberystwyth, Wales. The most recently built was an iron bridge in 1901 which was built over a stone bridge constructed in 1753 when the original bridge was thought to be unstable, using the original bridge built (1075 - 1200) to support the scaffolding.

Legend says that the bridge was built by the Devil as it was too difficult for people to build. The Devil built the bridge in return for the soul of the first life to cross the bridge, but the Devil was tricked by the people who threw bread onto the bridge and a dog followed thus becoming the first life to cross the new bridge.
