Car park with a view and the gateway to Swallow Falls
Ty’n Llwyn means ‘house in the grove’. This is a great place to have a picnic with a view (tables provided). It is also the starting point for a walk through woodland to the famous Swallow Falls waterfall.
The Swallow Falls Trail 2.5 miles, 4 kilometres.
The Swallow Falls Trail goes to a viewpoint over this famous waterfall. It descends through a woodland before it reaches the viewpoint where there is a bench. The path then winds its way up through trees and rocky outcrops to another viewpoint with a fantastic view down the valley. You get a great view from this side of the river so don’t forget your camera. This trail is one of Natural Resources Wales Ten of the Best Winter Walks.
