United Kingdom Melincwrt Falls

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.

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.

Situated 0.5 km south west of Resolven, 8 km north east of Neath, on the Resolven to Tonna road, B4434. Melincwrt Waterfalls is signposted from the A465 (T).
Neath Port Talbot Council provide a car park on the west side of the road, opposite the reserve entrance. Public footpaths within the reserve follow the south bank of the river, to the base of the waterfalls.
Bus numbers X5 and X6 from Swansea Quadrant Bus Station or Neath Train Station.
