Today I had some time to spend with my sister. It has been a while since we had a good catch up. We wasn’t sure where should go that was a few hours worth but also not too long for doing the school run.
So, Melincwrt Falls was chosen.
These coordinates are rough areas.

About the Location
have been here several times now and enjoyed each time. I wrote about the last time I went there here:
Adventure Day: Melincwrt Waterfall
As before, there is plenty of parking at the bottom. You are usually luck to see a car or two there. The start of the track is just on the other side of the road.
Heading up to the waterfall without distraction should take about 15-25 minutes with a slight gradient. I think it took us over half hour taking photos and enjoying the sights along the way.
There is plenty of spots that you can see the river down the left side of the track.
A little way down from the waterfall there is steps on the right, these head over the top of the waterfall and gives access to the fairy forest beyond.
The best time to see the waterfall is just after a few days of rain, even better if you time it half hour after the rains… or I guess as it is raining.
The fairy forest is above the waterfall and is near the church that is there. Although I would ask all to be considerate that this part is not a beaten path and is old and natural woods.
What happened?
After looking at a small clearing near the. car park that was not there before, we headed on to the trail.
The sun was a bit weird today, lazy and bright.
Winter still has it’s grips on the forest but there was plenty of signs of spring coming and not just from the Daffodils flowering. Other plants were poking through the dead leaves, and the trees had buds on ready.
At the waterfall I found a random pair of sunglasses left there. How did someone forget them?
After seeing the waterfall we headed back down the trail to the steps that head up and over the top. On the way up I found a random tag with a face on it and one blackbird egg in the branches of a fallen tree. Tried looking for more or even a nest.
Following the stream further up into what I say is a Fairy forest, a mostly untouched part of the trail and woods, that just looks old and wild. Although it didn’t strike the majestic beauty that I have seen it in the spring and autumn time it was still a wondrous place to go. We spent probably close to an hour exploring the area including a rest for 10 minutes.
They walk back down went quickly, it always seems to somehow.
Afterwords
In all it has been an enjoyable day and a good catch up with my sister. I can’t wait for my next adventure day!
