Part of the Afon Nedd Fechan
A beautiful section of riverside walking with lots to see; river birds, the remnants of industrial heritage and trees, mosses and lichens. The river forms the county boundary between Powys and Neath county borough.

Bend on the Afon Nedd Fechan
A revetment for a tramroad or rail bridge remains on the far bank - just one example of lots of industrial remains that can be spotted on the Waterfalls Walk.

All that remains of the railway track which ran alongside Nedd Fechan are the stone footings showing the circular holes where the track brackets were secured.

Woodland Track and Bank
When the railway track from the silica mines was constructed a shallow cutting was made creating this woodland bank. A good example of how land naturalises after man's disturbance.

Farewell Rock
A popular path starts up beside the Nedd Fechan from behind the Angel Inn. It was originally cut into the sheer sides of the gorge to accommodate a tramway to bring 'silica rock' - a particularly pure sandstone suitable for the manufacture of refractory bricks - down from the various mines further up the valley. However the rock outcrop here is an example of another thick bed of sandstone known as the 'Farewell Rock' which marks the very base of the South Wales Coal Measures. Mining below it was fruitless, as no further ironstone or coal seams would be encountered - 'farewell' to useful mining - hence the colourful name.

The entrance gates are a few tens of metres behind these High Street houses. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2547562
The walk leads to a series of majestic waterfalls in the upper valley of the River Neath, including Sgwd Gwladys waterfall http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1643466. Two walkers are studying a display map of the area.

Remnant of a ruined building beside the Afon Nedd Fechan
Its historical use is hard to guess but its gable end looks precarious.
