- Adventure up into the Berwyn mountains to find a remote secret waterfall hidden at the back of a valley. I also went to Pennant Melangell which is a holy sight of pilgrimage for people from all over the world - hope you enjoy!

Hey just for future reference - on the lane once you get to the stile where the bridleway starts, just keep on the lane - get to the barns and cross over the stream by the bridge - across the field to the right up to the lane and through the posh farm yard. It has no public right of way signs and private garden, but - there is a path - a beautiful path, easy to follow straight to the fall , much easier and more beautiful a route it is too, The Powys council created an official diversion, hence the bridleway so the rich family who owns the estate (Redshield - you know what I mean) didn't have the masses crossing their gardens. It is I believe an ancient right of way which should be kept at all costs and no amount of selfishness or pandering should inhibit public access to what could be one of the most beautiful spots in all of Wales.
Thank you Mark … not sure if this is the way I came back … it’s so badly sign posted it all just says Private Garden … yes I know exactly what you mean ha ha! Yes fair enough although they could make it a bit easier 😅
Do you mean you turn before the farm?
@@ethicalbunny Cant help thinking this is a definite strategy as the bridleway hardly equates to a path and once you get to the gorse, like you did - 99% of folk give up I'm sure
@@markmuir7267 maybe - I did see a path on the other side but that led up the opposite side of the valley 🥲
@@ethicalbunny Just remember in case you go again - all the easy walking and the best views are on the right hand bank - following the river downstream of course, Some lovely grassy fields to cross before you get to the fall proper where it gets a lot more natural
Good morning, Ethical Bunny. I'd enjoyed the video and your thumbnail was a good start to Monday morning. Thanks❤
My go too video.
Amazing great video look forward to watching more 😊
Great video thank you for sharing
Brilliant . . Well done continuing with your adventure. . . Fascinating chapel. Thank you.
I look forward to watching your next adventure. 😁👍
I just watched and really enjoyed this one. I need to go here.
Also your mam sounds like like a legend.😉👍
You found the waterfall and was looking all girly and beautiful 10.30 if look to see 10.40 you are getting out and biting and getting stuck in to your flapjack or granola bar. No messing about.😂
I thought that was brilliant.👏👏👍
Hope your new boots are good.
Love to see you and you mum one day wild camping together. I know she wouldn’t want to now.
Just when you said she did in the 90s. Thought that was really nice, you are following her.
I'm out Tues to waterfall, I will jump in and perhaps eat very fast a granola bar or flapjack.
Next month I'm going for it, 3 nights Lake District. Scafell Pike and as many as my legs to do.
I'll be busy there.
Looking forward to your next one.
Your vids are very good because you are just being yourself.
Keep having fun.👋
Nice video Ethical Bunny. Watch out for those ticks, horrible things. Best wishes on the next adventure.
thank you! Yes I was paranoid I was getting Lymes for a week after ha ha
What a wonderful trip! Very beautiful songs and a waterfall, but probably the water is still very cold!👍👍
I thought this was awesome, loved the waterfall and the church was beautiful, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you so much! I was glad I found it I was about to go home half way through! Thanks for watching!
I haven’t done wild swimming for 30 years , but I’m determined to do it this year when it’s warmer obviously 😂 , great video thanks 🙏🍻
Just found you and enjoyed this video very much
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful. Landscape I want. Travel. Each. Part. From. Your forest. Delighted👌🦊
It is a lovely place to walk in the berwyns ! ☺️☺️
Excellent job on the video..! In fact I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed to your channel.. looking forward to many, many more adventures with you..!
Hello dear, a really mysterious landscape , and I noticed you took advantage of the waterfall 😊 Lovely church too 🌿🌿
It was wasn’t it! Ha ha yes I did although I couldn’t get to some of the bigger pools … one for next time maybe xxx
Awesome video mate! Brave and down to earth video! Yr a natural. Really loved it and thanks. New subscriber!
thank you! I gave it a go ha ha!
Great Video. Beautiful part of the Country. I used to live near Pwllheli and often went in search of different Waterfalls
Just stumbled on your video. Inspirational thanks for sharing. As a 71 yr old Neston guy living in NZ since 1986 your ramble brought back may happy memories. I never visted these waterfalls but went to Pistyll Rhaeadr which are relatively close by. Worth a visit. Keep strong - kia kaha.
I love it there! I want to go back very soon as last time I went it was freezing! 🥶very beautiful place!
Lovely stroll up to thefalls, with a lovely hostess. Cheers & happy trails from British Columbia, Canada, eh!
Thank you for your kind comment ☺️
Looks lovely, I bet that stream was cold with bare feet!
The area looks similar to Dolgellau area, very lush and beautiful. I remember very sheer valleys with amazing views, and in the distance the Welsh coastline!
Well it is not to far away! I am hoping to get out that way sometime soon! :)
Lovely video
Thank you! ☺️ I’m trying to make them slightly longer now ☺️
I think I went to that waterfall once and remember it being a mission! Subbed!
Yes, it’s not one I would be back at soon but it was a good adventure!!😊
Just come across your channel i have sub, great content and well edited, love the scenery and the water fall but it doesn't look like an easy place to find I guess that's why it's a secret waterfall. I'm glad you got back safe. I love adventures like this going somewhere different of the beaten track. Looking forward to watching your other content thanks for sharing. 👍
Bloody hell... you've made my day already 😁Have a nice day gorgeous.Mark.
Thank you ha ha?😅
@@ethicalbunny your most welcome young lady....your cool😳Will have too peruse the rest of your adventures...you make me smile.😁
This is awesome! Amazing spot!
Thank you 😊😊
such a great video, we've all had days like that where they haven't turned out as planned. That scene where you were walking down the hill reminded me the movie 'An American Werewolf in London.' would love to see more like this.
Ha ha I will do my best ! Ahhh I remember that film 😅😅 corny but spooky 😅😅😅
Not far from Pistyll Rhaeadr, i thought I had seen the name before I had the Yew tree marked on map as a place to visit, having 3 little dogs I get the Tick thing, they gross me out, interesting little visit
You don’t have much of an accent, but I suspect you are Welsh because you pronounced our Welsh placenames perfectly. 🏴
So good to hear the hike up to the falls was transformative. I think you have to go with your intuition - you made the right choice I think. These micro adventures are worthwhile. Awesome falls to - they say awe is good for us. Well, resonating with your spiritual being. I've subbed on account of the time out and that. Just a tip when crossing rivers and streams. Grab a staff from out of the bush - it really keeps you steady. All the best. Mark (Hereford)
Yes 100%. I would have regretted it when if I had turned back! Hmm yes it was very slippy and cold 😅😅 I will have to try that next time! Thanks 😊😊
@@ethicalbunny Gotta be good - no regrets. Yeah, it's a standard way of crossing rivers but sure does work. Take care.
@@WyeExplorer yes, I think tbh I will invest in some poles - much better on the knees!
@@ethicalbunny They do take a fraction of the pressure off - commented on your Pen Y Fan. You've probably seen that.
I worked on the rebuilding of the church apse containing St Melangell’s shrine. At the same time there was an internal archeological dig which found her grave slab.
I travelled to wales a few times over the years and found some very little known waterfalls.... one of which had a deep pool underneath which I got into up-to my neck ....it was cold too... wasn't a massive waterfall but nonetheless great to find!....11 years later I travelled to it again... nature and it's erosion had taken its toll on that pool....that pool wasn't there anymore😟...I was looking forward to another bath and shower at the same time again😔. Lol
Really enjoyed this! Sometimes "no public right of way" may be true but (deliberately) confusing - it may not mean "no public footpath". Need to check carefully. Anyway, glad you made it OK. Hope to try this before too long.
Yes I don’t know which it meant but after a while I didn’t care 😅😅 so confusing!
bravo.. i think i no you now after 5 videos, haha i can tell by your face that these hikes and places are you go to are , your happy place isnt this the reason why we do it...
Awesome 😊
Lovely lass
👍
Have a great time
Myself from the South Wales area and since I was a kid always walking the mountain here away from the people haha, also I walk by night doing astrophotography and its a different world out there at night time... Anyway thanks of your video, take care Ade 😉
That sounds amazing! It probably a nice place to do it as there are no towns nearby … I feel like you only realise the amount of light pollution when you go hiking and can see light from towns that are far away!
@@ethicalbunny yes its amazing as I live in the valleys we have some light pollution but not a great deal and when up on top of the mountain I'm above the light pollution so not to bad but then up towards the reservoirs its pitch black, also they was on about doing the planetarium on the old colliery site as so dark but it sadly did not happen, also as I do astrophotography light pollution can be a pain but its great here also I capture the star trail effects over the reservoirs etc which is cool, I must put the camera on the right settings point the camera at the North Star and wait for about 30 mins for our planet to rotate to capture the circular trailing effects of the stars its fun. Myself could never move to the city areas as it would feel like a life sentence haha there ain't much here but the hikes and scenery makes up for it all.
@@darkshaman7087 that sounds amazing! What do you do that with? I am the same ha ha, I could never live in a city where I am now is as much in town as I would want to be!
Where is ds place
Ethical, please order some hiking poles for the fording, don't fall in!
100% I need some for my knees also 🙃🙃
