사우스 웨일즈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 협곡

This is the start of the climb to Pen Y Fan by the main route from Storey Arms.

The photos don’t do this part of the coastline any justice. The sheer drops are impressive!

Path to falls currently closed due to a landslide. Can see the falls from a distance from the top path

Henrhyd Falls in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, is the tallest waterfall in southern Wales with a drop of 90 feet. It lies on National Trust land, in the traditional county of Brecknockshire. The nearest settlement to it is Coelbren, on the road between Glynneath and Abercraf.

You can especially be enchanted by the legend that surrounds this crack in the rock!

Melincourt Falls (Sgwd Rhyd Yr Hesg in Welsh) seemed to be one of the unsung waterfalls in an area of South Wales known as Waterfall Country. I suspect the reason why this falls wasn’t as well known as the others was that it was not part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Actually, it was in its own reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales towards the head of the Vale of Neath. So I’d imagine it kind of fell off the radar for most of the literature let alone tourist itineraries! When I saw the 80ft (24m) waterfall in person, I was quite surprised at how similar looked to the nearby Sgwd Henrhyd!! One that you can also walk behind unknown to most.

Great views of the waterfall from here

What an beautiful valley and with many great swimming spots its my favourite
