Nice short walk, free parking and took baby in stroller. Waterfall seems low because of no rainfall. Hope to see bigger one after rainfall. Lovely day lovely visit and lovely dayout.

I went on a Monday morning, just a random find im my commute back to Worcestershire. Very peaceful, only one other couple walking back was my encounter. In this hot weather, the cool breeze being generated by the falls was amazing, the picture don't do it justice, just how tall the falls are. A plus, it was only a 15min walk to get there.

First of all,it's very deceiving. You go to the car park. THEN cross the main road,there's a small sign saying way to falls. There's a very steep drop all of the way to the falls. But when you get there it's magnificent and magical like something out of a film set. The photos doesn't give it justice.

Melincwrt Waterfall is a spectacular 80-foot (24) single drop that feels like a forgotten rainforest. because it sits outside the main “Waterfall Country “ tourist loop, it was a nice way to start the day with a peaceful walk with little footfall with a high-reward with only a 10 minute walk to the falls
