Afon Mynach (Welsh pronunciation:[ˈmənaχ]; also known as theRiver Mynach) is a river inCeredigion,Wales.

Its source is at the meeting of two smaller rivers, theNant Rhuddnant and theAfon Myherin. Both of these streams have their sources in lakes high in theCambrian Mountains:

• the Afon Myherin flows from two lakes known collectively as Llynnoedd Ieuan;
• the much larger Nant Rhuddnant passes through Llyn Rhuddnant, above which it is formed by the confluence of several smaller streams.

The Afon Mynach is notable for the famousMynach Falls^[1] in the village ofDevil's Bridge (Pontarfynach), where the river plunges 90 metres into thegorge of theRiver Rheidol. It is also famous for the three bridges built one on top of the other in the same village, the lowest of the three said to be built by the devil (hence the name Devil's Bridge),^[2] but most probably built by the monks ofStrata Florida.
