Hiking

Gillies Trail and Waterfall in Caegarw, Mountain Ash.
Not many people are aware of the path that leads up to the mountain behind Caegarw and the impressive waterfall that is only a short 10 minute walk from the start of the trail.
The path is accompanied by a beautiful river which follows alongside for a good part of the trial and there is a fair share of wildlife to spot too!
If you’re looking for a new place to visit in Mountain Ash or a place to go with your dogs off the lead, this is ideal!
