Walks in Waterfall Country

is situated in a triangle
formed by the villages of Hirwaun, Ystradfellte, and Pontneddfechan. Waterfall
country includes the head waters of the rivers Nedd, Mellte, Pyrddin and Hepste.

These rivers drain the old red sandstone mountain ranges of the Fan’s in the
north and travel south through the deep V shaped wooded valleys the rivers have formed in the carboniferous limestone of the  southern belt of the national park.

In addition to being part of the national park, waterfall country is officially
designated as a site of special scientific interest containing over 200 species
of mosses, liverworts, and ferns.
