Pistyll Rhaeadr meaning "waterfall (of) Rhaeadr" is a waterfall 4 miles Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant in Powys, Wales, and 16 miles west of Oswestry. It falls in three stages, over a 240-foot cliff-face, and is spectacular, but doesn't compare to other waterfalls in more mountainous regions. When we drove out that day to visit the waterfall, it was a beautiful day but cold, with snow on the surrounding hills.

The road towards the fall is narrow with passing places occasionally, and that day was very icy. At one point Adrian lost of control of the car as it slid down the final slope before the car park. I was not the most popular passenger that day. ;-)

The main photo shows the upper reaches of the waterfall only, and that leads directly on to PiP 1. and finally PiP 2. I needed a much wider angle lens for this photo.

PiP 1 shows the middle stage of the waterfall with a natural 'bridge'



PiP 2 shows the lower reaches of the waterfall continuing to fall.
