Cenarth Bridge Finish:Rolled 'The butcher'Passers by stop on Cenarth Bridge to look at the coracle men plying their craft down the Teifi. Following a pattern evolved over two thousand years ago, coracle builders construct the oval, basket shaped boats that were being used by ancient Britons when Caesar invaded the island. Willow and hazel rods are bent into shape and covered with tarred calico, making a small, light craft in which a single paddler sits. They are used mainly by salmon fishers
