Cwm Rhaeadr Waterfall
Picnic Location
Cwm Rhaeadr, which means “valley of the waterfall” in Welsh, is a remote woodland and picnic area situated in the upper Tywi Valley just north of Llandovery. A visit to this area in the autumn/winter months means with more water the falls are more dramatic and the woodland colours simply stunning. Lay your picnic out on the tables near the car park beneath the Douglas Fir trees or there is a two mile waymarked walk to the falls or a shorter trail to two peaceful ponds.
Picnic tip: If you have something to celebrate dunk a bottle of fizz in the falls to chill.
How to reach: Cwm Rhaeadr is near Llandovery and is approximately one mile north of the village of Cilycwm. Car parking is free of charge.
Suggested walk: Rhandirmwyn
