Hafod: Peiran Cascade is a picturesque garden structure dating from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, located within the Hafod estate in Ceredigion, Wales. The cascade forms part of the ornamental water features that characterise the Hafod landscape, reflecting the Picturesque movement's influence on estate design during this period. Constructed to channel water in an aesthetically pleasing manner through the woodland setting, the cascade exemplifies the integration of architectural and natural elements typical of post-medieval romantic gardens. The structure remains an important component of the Hafod grounds, which represent one of Wales's significant examples of landscape gardening from the Georgian and early Victorian eras.
