Rhiwagor Waterfall
Rhiwagor Waterfall is a scenic waterfall in the upper Elan valley in Powys, mid-Wales, within the celebrated Elan Valley Estate managed by Welsh Water. The waterfall is one of several natural water features in the Elan valley, a landscape dramatically altered in the 1890s when a series of dams and reservoirs were constructed to supply Birmingham with fresh water. The resulting reservoir system, with its Victorian Gothic dam towers and valve houses, created a landscape of considerable romantic character that has attracted visitors ever since. The surrounding moorland and woodland of the Elan valley is a nationally important nature reserve supporting red kite, peregrine falcon, merlin and a range of upland and woodland species. The Elan Valley Estate provides an extensive network of walking and cycling trails through this remote mid-Wales landscape.
