Pistyll Rhaeadr - Wales' tallest single-drop waterfall, near Oswestry - Chill Cymru - Slow TV

Pistyll Rhaeadr is often referred to as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. The waterfall is formed by the Afon Disgynfa falling in three stages over a 240-foot cliff-face, into the Afon Rhaeadr below. The tallest stage is estimated at about 40 metres. For visitors, there is a small car park at the foot of the waterfall as well as a small café and it is a great place to explore the Berwyn Mountains (Berwyn comes from the Old Welsh ”bre”(hill) and ”gwyn”(shining white) and surrounding hills, with many walks on all levels to suit a variety of walkers. A 3-mile circuit crosses the foot of the fall and returns to the car park via old quarry heaps and hillsides. A much more adventurous alternative climbs steeply on the right of the waterfall and continues uphill, as far as you want to go along the great cliffs of the Berwyn ridge. Please be aware of a single track road leading to the car park. There is a £5 parking charge for using the car park, and a 50p charge per customer to use the toilets. Wear sensible foot wear when exploring the area. Relax, unwind and enjoy this slow TV experience - Chill Cymru.
