The Four Waterfalls
Sgwd Clun-Gwyn
The walk begins with sweeping views over this powerful, two-tiered waterfall. Here your guide will introduce the geology of the area—carved over millions of years—and explain how the River Mellte has shaped this dramatic landscape.
Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn
Descending deeper into Waterfall Country, you’ll reach this beautifully layered cascade. Your guide will share stories of local mining heritage, the old drovers who once navigated these valleys, and how this region became a treasured part of Welsh natural history.
Sgwd y Pannwr
A quieter, more secluded waterfall, Sgwd y Pannwr is known for its swirling pools and enchanting forest setting. This is where visitors often pause to immerse themselves in the peaceful atmosphere while the guide highlights the unique flora and fauna that thrive in these wet woodlands.
Sgwd yr Eira – The Waterfall You Can Walk Behind
The showstopper. This iconic curtain of water allows you to walk behind its thundering sheet—a moment that belongs on every adventurer’s bucket list. Your guide will ensure safe passage along the rocky path and share the folklore and myths that surround this magical place.
