Access: On the B 4518 at Staylittle, when travelling from Llanidloes and
Llanbrynmair turn left in the village onto an unclassified road which will
take you into Hafren Forest. Do not turn left to the Llyn Clywedog Reservoir.
But keep on until a large car park is seen on your right next to the River
Severn (not very big at this point!) Park up. Take the well-marked footpath
up the right hand bank of the river and follow good paths and tracks in a
sort of a uphill loop. Where the waterfall will be seen. It is smaller than
it looks! But its symmetric shape makes it attractive and the pure remoteness
is just to be savoured. The Reservoir
is worth a look after. The fall itself is about a mile from the source of the
River Severn!
