Photography by John Ball - 11.00am on 5th March 1998 (with Agfa ePhoto307 digital camera)

Image 1:

On the southern edge of Fforest Fawr, the rivers Mellte, Hepste, Pyrddin, and Nedd flow through wooded ravines and plunge over a series of waterfalls, the highest concentration of falls in Wales. Today, I walked to the Sgwd Clun Gwyn falls on Afon Mellte.

Image 2:

The route to the falls is down this rough track through a coniferous forest.

Image 3, 4:

Because of recent rains, the woodland path became increasingly muddy!!

At the top of the picture (Image 7) Afon Mellte can be seen approaching the falls. Meanwhile (Image 8) Afon Mellte rushes though the gorge at the bottom of the falls.
