Strenuous 7 miles / 11.3 km
Cadair Berwyn is the highest mountain in Wales outside Snowdonia N. P. with panoramic views across England & Wales from the summit. It is not a difficult climb as the path ascends gradually towards the lake below the summit; a steeper short section leads to the top of the headwall. Return includes the top of the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, the highest in Wales with a cascade over a 80m, 73m sheer drop. Steps lead down to tea rooms below the falls 200 m from the walk start. Total ascent of 715m.
Forge Retail Park CP, FRP. Near the back wall of the CP, next to the green fire assembly point and opposite Furniture Village.
Take B4580 to the centre of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant village and turn sharp right at a sign on a shop wall saying 'Waterfall'. Follow the lane for about a mile to park in a small layby on the left before reaching Pistyll Rhaeadr. Important to contact the leader if going directly to the walk start.
