Sgwd Clun-Gwyn

Pontneddfechan · Wales · United Kingdom

We visited a place in Wales called Sgwd Clun-Gwyn Waterfall. On the way, I passed through A4059 Penderyn — probably one of the most scenic roads I’ve driven in the UK in recent years

This waterfall is about 40 feet high and is located close to the forest trail, making it one of the easiest to find. Beside the waterfall, there’s a pebbled woodland path, and you can get up close via wooden stairs.
