Stepaside Bridge, Clarbeston
Stepaside Bridge, Clarbeston
The bridge crosses the Afon Syfni, and gets its name from what used to be a pub on the far side. Syfni is the local pronunciation of the river name, and is the spelling in some, but not all, OS maps. More literary variants are Syfynwy, Syfynfi, Syfnau. The name is derived from the same Celtic name (Sumina) as the Somme in France. The river for some distance marks the traditional Landsker or language boundary, English on this side and Welsh on the other. It also marked the boundary in the Hundred of Dungleddy between the Marcher barons' land to the south and west and the bishop's lands to the north and east.
