Some ten miles further downstream, the River Teifi divides Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion (formerly Cardiganshire) as it winds its way into Cardigan Bay and the Irish Sea. On the Pembrokeshire bank is the large village of St.Dogmaels. Here there is a statue of a mermaid, recalling the tale of a local fisherman, Peregrine, who managed to capture her in his net one day. The mermaid was so upset at being caught that she begged Peregrine to let her go, but he only did so after she promised to give him three warning shouts if his life was ever in danger.
Some time later when out fishing, he heard the shouts of "Peregrine, Peregrine, Peregrine, take up your nets and go, take up your nets, take up your nets".
Peregrine did as he was told and returned safely to his home. Shortly after, the sky blackened and a terrible storm arose, killing many local fishermen that day, but Peregrine was saved by the mermaid's warning.
