Named after the Welsh word for “tracks”, Cledrau sits in a unique location overlooking our railway lines and the neighbouring Cambrian mainline. It’s a beautifully designed space – light, airy, and filled with railway charm – making it the perfect place to watch the trains go by while you relax.
Open seven days a week from 9.30am, Cledrau offers something for everyone – whether you’re a local looking for a new favourite spot, a visitor starting your Vale of Rheidol adventure, or simply passing by and in need of a pick-me-up. Dogs are welcome too, so there’s no need to leave anyone behind.
Our menu has been carefully created to showcase fresh, quality food. Enjoy barista coffee, cakes baked daily on the premises, and a range of hot and cold drinks to enjoy on site, or to take away. For something more substantial, we’re serving freshly prepared lunches including sandwiches, toasties, paninis, jacket potatoes, and tempting daily specials.
Whether you’re calling in for a quick coffee or settling down for a leisurely lunch with a view, you’ll find always find a warm welcome waiting at Cledrau.
Devil’s Bridge Station
Our Devil’s Bridge Station site is currently under redevelopment. The plans include the construction of a new building featuring high-quality toilet facilities and an engine shed, replicating structures that were present in the early 20th century. The station will also see the recreation of the former timber yard.
Whilst the catering building is no longer in operation, our Devil’s Bridge shop offers a limited range of refreshments including Lavazza coffees, sweet treats and ice creams, along with takeaway sandwiches, freshly prepared by Cledrau Cafe at our Aberystwyth Station.
