Nedd Fechan & Afon Mellte

Walk along the two rivers with waterfalls & caves

This page was written by Christopher Spry.

This walk is along interesting parts of the Nedd Fechan and Afon Mellte rivers, starting in the car park at Ystradfellte. It shows the route I took in October 2005. The route and geology is described in detail in Excursion 3 'The Mellte and Nedd Fechan Valleys' on page 14 of 'Caves and Karst of the Brecon Beacons National Park' A field guide by Mike Simms, BRCA Cave Studies Series, Number 7, 1998, ISBN 0 900265 20 5.
