Y Rhaeadr Dirgel/The Secret Waterfall
This spectacular waterfall is a man made, and results from a 19thC stream diversion designed to stop the flooding of underground caverns at Llechwedd. Over time the waterfall became obscured by the growth of rhododendron trees and was only exposed again when Llechwedd became a major tourist attraction. Visitors are instructed to listen carefully to see if they can hear the ghostly whisperings of the quarrymen who created the waterfall.
