Many of these are located within the Brecon Beacons National Park, with the main concentration found towards the National Park’s southern edge in the area known as ‘Waterfall Country’. The two most popular walks, each leading you to multiple waterfalls, are the Four Waterfalls walk and the Elidir Trail. What’s more, a short distance to the west lies the single, but hugely impressive, Henrhyd Falls. However, there is another majestic cascade that lies just to the southwest of the National Park’s boundary, in the Neath Valley, and is known as Melincourt Falls (in Welsh: Sgwd Rhyd-yr-Hesg). As impressive as this waterfall is, I believe that it doesn’t get the coverage it deserves mainly because it sits outside of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Well, let’s go explore… Where is the Melincourt Falls? The falls are located on the Melincourt Brook (river), 1 mile (1.6 km) south west of the village of Resolven, in the Neath Valley.
