United Kingdom Melincwrt Falls

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Melincwrt Waterfalls is in mature upland Oak woodland which ascends steeply from the narrow gorge of the Melincwrt Brook. Sessile Oak is interspersed with gnarled Silver Birch, Small-leaved Lime, Wild Cherry, Rowan and Crab Apple, whilst Alder dominates the stream bank. The woodland floor is carpeted with Bluebell, with Enchanter’s Nightshade taking over later in the year. Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage and Tutsan are confined to the wet flushes.
There is a clearly marked public footpath to the base of the waterfall.

Photography Tips

The only tip I might suggest is take a variety of ND filters for experimenting with longer exposures. Also take care with your footing in and around the falls. Be prepared for company as the falls are popular with visitors to the area.
