Falling Slowly

Sgwd Clun-Gwyn waterfall.

 

Waterfall Country (or sometimes Waterfalls Country) is the name given to an area around the head of the Vale of Neath in South Wales where an unusually large number of spectacular and publicly accessible falls are to be found. Virtually all of the falls occur on tributaries of the River Neath occupying valleys that have been deeply incised into the landscape.

 

Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, aka the 'fall of the white meadow' is the uppermost of the three celebrated falls on the River Mellte. It is formed where a north-northwest to south-southeast trending fault brings hard sandstone up against softer mudstone.
