I haven't made any effort to get the photographs in the right order or to remember the names of each fall as I think it's more important that you go and do the walk yourself if at all possible. Hopefully, you'll be inspired to visit. Above (I believe) is the waterfall you can walk behind. We didn't as I saw a few people looking saturated and didn't fancy hypothermia.


The trail itself was around 6km long and the terrain varied wildly. I'd say it took us around 4 hours as we took it at a gentle pace, with a stop for lunch and plenty of photographing the waterfalls and scenery. It's a proper walk though, you'll need sturdy boots as the paths were undulating, rocky, wet, a little muddy and slippery in places. 

It was pretty quiet when we went during the week in mid September, but it reportedly gets busy in high season and weekends so for the best kind of peaceful walk I'd say head along when the crowds are elsewhere if practical. There were plenty of steps too, to get to a couple of the waterfalls. It's not hard, but just a slog.







There were some paths very close to the edge and some viewpoints which were just on the cliff edge so I can't help thinking it would be rather child unfriendly (or parent unfriendly?) as there were plenty of hazardous points.



The scenery and falls were beautiful, I imagine by now, the changing colours of the landscape would make it look completely different. That's the beauty of visiting somewhere all year round; taking in all the different sights, smells and feel of the place. I would love to return again one day.

It was a rather grey and drizzly day. The kind of day when it's coat on/coat off in an irritatingly warm but damp fashion.


I found some wonderful wild scabious flowers with some insects buzzing around.
A few little clover flowers. Mmmm


I found a little remaining colour on the heather. I've no idea when the heather flowered but I have almost completely missed the bloom.





A few pops of colour.



All in all, the walk was around 8km but was really easygoing. I imagine that the landscape looks dramatically different in all seasons; we walked round on the cusp of autumn but the leaves would be looking splendid in tones of gold by now.

This is the view over the hills I was treated to for our week away in Wales. Yes, so peaceful. C suggested I remove the cable from this photograph, but that's not my style. I know the picture would look better, but I prefer to take a picture of what was there, not a fictitiously perfect alteration.
Yes, there are some utterly breathtaking views out there, but precious little in life is without flaws so I like to keep things realistic.
Have a wonderful weekend, whatever you get up to. Make the most of your time and enjoy!

I'd love to tell you about the ridge walk we took around the mountains, looking down at Llyn Y Fan Fach, but I can't because it didn't work out. A couple of weeks back we planned a good long walk around the reservoir; the day itself dawned with a heck of a wind. The cottage where we were staying was only a few miles away as the crow flies but by road it was a much more long winded route up narrow and steep roads, with virtually no indication of being on the right route. There was an official car park but the track to it was bumpy. As we'd got up so early we were quite alone in the middle of nowhere for a while. It takes a long long to lace up my boots properly and for someone else to decide where the start of the path is... and exactly where we are in relation to a leaflet...
In a small alteration to the plan we decided to walk the planned route in reverse as that track was unmissable so made much more sense. We set off up a steady ascent towards what turned out to be a trout farm, then up to the reservoir.  The path up looked worse than it was, however the wind was incredibly strong at the top and made me want to hit the deck and stay there.
 I did mention I wore this shirt for half of the holiday. But it's just so suitable for everything.
This was the view from the top. It was interesting, though I was horrified to see how close the path was to the cliff edge. At this point I want to make it clear that I didn't immediately call a halt to proceedings; though we did linger for a few pictures before C tactfully invited me to deliberate if I wanted to continue. Considering I was being buffeted with quite some force and the route of the path it was only ever going to be a no. So back down we went.

The views were a real treat. Landscape of course was stunning, but the birds were a wonder. Red kites soared in circles. We don't have many red kites in Norfolk so seeing so many was a luxury. This was probably the best of the shots I attempted.



In the picture above, you can see some of the sheep tracks. We followed one over the bumpier brown area at the base of the mountain. We went round, kept going round (expecting to see the second reservoir) and after seeing nothing but more mountains, decided to head back to base.
Two figures atop the mounain, where we would have walked. So close to the edge! NO THANK YOU!
At lunchtime we did prop ourselves up for a picnic on a large rock. It's so satisfying to eat when you've worked up a real appetite.





In all, our walk lasted around 6.5 miles and to me, wasn't really a second best. Many other people did go up to the clifftop path but it really didn't appeal to me, even if it was a still day.
Everyone is different, but I do enjoy a good walk without any drama.
