We are thinking of popping up there on the weekend for some scenery…..

My question is, does anyone know Sgwd Gwladys?

Can you get to the top of it easily? Im only asking because me and my mates are a bit partial to throwing ourselves off things into water! ...and I know it looks shallow in that pic, but the plunge pool will always be plenty deep enough!

If anyone knows any bigger waterfalls (with access to jump off :wack:) in South Wales, please feel free to post up!

We will also be doing a bit of coasteering at somepoint this month. Probably in St David’s. If there are any adrenalin junkies want to join us, let me know. It’s a wicked laugh.

Dont quote me on this as it is a long time since I have been up there, but I was told back then that it is possible to 'walk' the whole length of the river/waterfall sequence from the bottom up onto the top road and there is a car park on both ends. But I am not sure.

If you talking about Ystradfellte, its one hell of a walk too! been going up there for years and never seen the falls :( my mother and stepfather wouldnt take me (not that I am accident prone) though they have been there and taken my neice :(
Have tried walking it myself but knowing my luck I would get lost
