Margam is a beautiful country park estate in Wales. This viewpoint in the park offers excellent views over to Devon, Somerset, the Gower peninsular and the Vale of Glamorgan.

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.

Melincourt Waterfall a spectacular 80ft (24m) high fall.👌Our first time here and To Be Fair It was certainly a cold one! 🥶 First time on this Stunning perfect for all, little walk up to the fall. Path is fairly level and is well maintained by the Wildlife Trust making this an ideal waterfall walk for all to access.

Melincourt Waterfall is a stunning waterfall in the Vale of Neath. Plunging 79 feet (24 m) into a thick wooded gorge, the falls are breathtaking. The whole area is a designated nature reserve and is home to a great deal of animal and plant life. A short and reasonably well-maintained path leads from the car park directly to the waterfall. Take care as there are unguarded drops and slippery rocks on the hike to the falls.

The monument comprises the remains of a standing stone, which probably dates to the Bronze Age (c. 2300 - 800 BC). It is situated on level ground at 253m above OD on Mynydd Drumau. The stone is a monolithic slab of local sandstone with a rectangular base 1.2m by 0.6m and rising 4.3m high to a blunt point. OS Grid: SS724994.

These two red singletrack descents are part of the larger Penhydd trail from Afan Forest Centre. First up, Sidewinder takes you through the woodland on a rocky, narrow trail with a few loose corners. Then you're straight into Dead Sheep Gulley, a more open trail that cuts across the moorland landscape with a bit more pedalling than the last section.
