Overview

A day of waterfalls, mountains and lakes.The start point is at the base of Pistyll Rhaedr.  We view the waterfall from the base before heading out to Llyn Lluncaws and up onto Cadair Berwyn.  We then follow the ridge along to the summit of Cadair Bronwen, before we retrace our steps back to Cadair Berwyn then along to the summit of Moel Sych.  Then around to the last summit of the day, Post Gwyn

We then head down to the top of the waterfall (possible swim) then down to the start at the base of the waterfall. From Post Gwyn to this area, we pick the stream up, it is off piste as there is no real trail to follow in that area.

The walk starts a little earlier at 0930. This is due to the fact that the single track road up to the waterfall can be very busy.  It has limited passing places so please allow extra time for this.

The Waterfall car park is at the very end of the road and has a cafe and toilets (50p).  Parking for the day should be £5. Do not park on the side of the road leading to the car park, the road has been designated as a "no stopping and clearway", so you may get a ticket or worse.
