New Landscape Painting, Cenarth Bridge Carmarthonshire Wales

 




'The River Teifi' Cenarth Bridge'
Carmarthonshire
Wales
by Derek Shapiro

"Cenarth sits astride the Teifi - mostly in Carmarthenshire, but also partly in Ceredigion. There is a spectacular water fall and salmon leap and is one of the best places to see the coracles. In fact, annual coracle races take place in Cenarth at the end of July. The picturesque 200 year old bridge is an attraction in itself and features in most tourist brochures of Wales. The walk beside the famous falls enables you to meander for some distance beside the peaceful Teifi."

 

New gallery page, 'Winter Paintings' collection.


The painting is a snowscape and depicts the Swan Hotel an old coaching inn situated in the village of Woore on the Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire borders, where the artist Derek Shapiro lives. It was a main route for coaches traveling on an old Roman road (London Road) from the City of Chester to the City of London.
