This is Pont Melin-Fach. Pont, means bridge in Welsh, and here is a lovely stone bridge at the bottom of Heol Calch. This is a very popular picnic spot, as there are a few benches here. It also marks the end of the official waterfall walk along the Afon Nedd (River Neath). You can still walk higher up the river, where there are nice parts of the river still to see, but the best is behind you.
