Gillies Trail Waterfall
Highlight • River
Not many people are aware of the path that leads up to the mountain behind Caegarw and the impressive waterfall that is only a short 10 minute walk from the start of the trail.
The path is accompanied by a beautiful river which follows alongside for a good part of the trial and there is a fair share of wildlife to spot too!
If you’re looking for a new place to visit in Mountain Ash or a place to go with your dogs off the lead, this is ideal!
