    Hiking

    The Sgwd Ddwli Uchaf, or 'Upper Gushing Falls,' is a wonderful waterfall on the upper reaches of the Nedd Fechan. It is about the last of the bigger falls on the river. It is part of the waterfall country series of waterfall walks, and while this is not the biggest amongst them all, it is still a very pretty and scenic spot to spend some time.

    Swimable waterfall! Can climb down on the rocks to the front of it!

    Hiking

    Front of the waterfall is fairly deep, could probably go for a swim in it.
