Lovely walk full of miniature waterfalls and parts of the river to splash in. Free car park is much appreciated. Dogs loved it and great on a hot day as lots of shady parts too.

I went for a short walk here, but I didn’t see any birds, only butterflies. I could hear the birds at a distance. Free parking.

Visited here when our trip to another near by waterfall led us to a housing estate. Pretty deflated we decided to soldier on towards Gower. This place is wonderful. We saw all the mini water falls and climbed the slippy steap hill to get to the biggest waterfall. Which was so refreshing and beautiful. The people we passed on the way through were friendly too. I cant wait to go back despite the huge horse fly bites!!

Following a couple of days of stormy weather and rainfall I was dubious about leading a group of 10 on this usually beautiful 10 mile walk (literature says 9 but after 3 recces I'd say it's more like 10.5) But we were blessed with dry weather .. muddiest walk I've ever done but the clydach river, woodlands , sprawling mountains with awesome panoramic views , 2 churches, burial chambers, interestingly placed stones makes for a fantastic walk. Not for the faint hearted as it can be challenging particularly after lots of rain .. but with a sturdy pair of walking boots, sticks and waterproofs you won't be disappointed at the end of this walk

Wooded river valley with steep sides. Nice walk along the riverside. Free car park. Footpath starts off with a firm surface but soon becomes muddy. Can be very muddy after rain. We were glad we were wearing walking wellies, walking boots wouldn't have been good enough to keep our feet dry. There's a good 9 mile walk up the valley and back over the mountain. Take your own provisions and wet weather gear as it is often colder and wet on the mountain. Superb variety from woodland to open moorland. Fab.
