This is an excellent place to stop for a short break if you’re heading to West Wales along the M4 Motorway or the A465 “Heads of The Valleys” road.

Melincourt waterfall is often overlooked because it’s out on its own, away from the better known falls of the nearby Waterfall Country. In my opinion though, it’s as impressive as any of the others and, despite its advantage of being even easier to access, it is usually relatively quiet. Park up in the small free carpark, cross the road and take a short easy stroll along the riverbank through a wooded area. After about 5-10 minutes you’ll reach the lower pool of this 80ft high waterfall.
