Distilling in Wales was a lost art…’
…but in the late 1990s, in a pub in a small post-industrial Welsh valley town, a group of friends drank and chatted about establishing the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century. They dreamt of creating a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold, represented today by Penderyn’s ‘gold seam’.
The friends had a location in the historic village of Penderyn on the southern tip of the Brecon Beacons, chosen because of the site’s own supply of fresh natural spring water. They also had a unique copper single-pot still designed by Dr David Faraday, a relative of the great 19th-century scientist Michael Faraday. Penderyn Whisky was launched on St David’s Day 2004 in the presence of HRH Prince Charles.
At Penderyn we produce our own malted barley spirit which, when matured, is recognised worldwide as one of the finest single malt whiskies. The majority of our spirit goes into casks for ageing in our cellars. The remainder is used to craft other award-winning products. With investment, inspiration, hard work, attention to detail, the finest barley, expert distillers and the best American oak bourbon casks, Penderyn Whisky has quickly gained a worldwide reputation winning several awards en route and we have recently found new markets in countries such as China, Russia and Australia.
‘A lost art no more.’
The distillery offers guided tours which is a must. I am pleased to say I have had the tour and found it so informative.

Visiting Waterfall Country
The sound of water rushing, gurgling and dripping over stone fills the ears. This is a place of movement, colour and sound, our Celtic rainforest.
Nestled into the southern slopes of the Fforest Fawr massif, west of Merthyr Tydfil, Waterfall Country is one of the most beautiful and popular parts of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Fforest Fawr Geopark, with steep, tree-lined gorges and an abundance of tumbling water.
Known in Welsh as Bro'r Sgydau, Waterfall Country lies within the triangle formed by the villages of Hirwaun, Ystradfellte, and Pontneddfechan. Here, layers of sandstone, shale and limestone have created a highly distinctive environment of wooded gorges, caves and waterfalls.
The rivers Afon Mellte, Hepste, Pyrddin and Nedd-Fechan, tributaries of the River Neath, rise amongst the peaks of Fforest Fawr, the Old Red Sandstone mountains further north, and wind their way south through Waterfall Country via steep-sided, tree-lined gorges.
The area contains two Sites of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation with fine specimens of sessile oak and ash trees and over 200 species of mosses, liverworts, and ferns. It is also of historical significance, as it contains the legacy of man’s attempts to make a living from this landscape. It receives around 300,000 visitors a year, including walkers, outdoor groups, photographers, climbers, cavers and canoeists.
The most famous waterfall is Sgwd-y-Eira - meaning 'fall of snow' - on the River Hepste, where a natural path leads right behind the curtain of water.
Key information
Please note that all of the waterfalls are not close to the car parks.
All car parks are cash only so please ensure you have change with you to pay for your parking - £4 for a car and £7
for a mini-bus.
Make sure to follow one-way advisory signage where requested.

Top five things to do in Waterfall Country
Walking - much of Waterfall Country is open access land, which means the general public is free to explore it on foot. However, for safety reasons and to minimise erosion, please stick to the paths – there are around 25 miles of them. You can enjoy the waterfalls, streams and the woodland scenery, spot plants, insects and birds, or discover the remains of mines, quarries, kilns and a gunpowder factory with the help of our audio guides.
Gorge-walking - The combination of rocky gorges and fast flowing water makes Waterfall Country an exciting and challenging location to explore. Adventurous activities like gorge-walking should only be undertaken as part of an organised group with suitable equipment and training. Groups require permission to operate in the area, and should follow a code of conduct to minimise the environmental impact of their activities. The South Wales Outdoor Activity Provider Group (www.swoapg.co.uk) can provide information.
Caving - Porth-yr-Ogof cave, a single cave with over 1.5 miles of passages under the valley floor of the River Mellte, can be accessed from Cwm Porth car park, where there are basic toilets, changing facilities and a small shop selling snacks and drinks. The Nedd Fechan caves and the silica mines near Craig-y-Ddinas are visited by more experienced cavers.
Canoeing and kayaking - The rivers in this area are accessible to all and offer some of the best whitewater canoeing in Wales. Conditions are usually grade 4 or grade 5 and are suitable for experienced paddlers only.
Rock climbing - The Dinas Rock area is one of only two areas within the Park where rock outcrops suitable for sport climbing, top-roping and bouldering are to be found. The main face of Craig-y-Ddinas in the car park is suitable for learners, and there are several bolted sports routes for more experienced climbers to be found up the Sychryd.
Looking after yourself and the countryside
Waterfall Country is a fragile landscape that can be easily damaged by the large numbers of people that visit. Follow these guidelines and with your help we can keep this place unspoilt for future generations.
• Keep on the waymarked paths – they will offer you the safest route.
• If you bring it here, take it home – litter can spoil everyone’s visit.
• Watch where you step! – plants, especially mosses, are fragile and slow growing and easily trampled.
• Fires are devastating, leave standing and fallen trees for the wildlife.
• Peace and quiet are appreciated by the local residents, both people and animals.
We care about you too, so please:
Remember to wear sturdy footwear; the walking trails can be steep and slippery underfoot. Be aware of unguarded steep drops, especially when taking photos.
Don’t be tempted to swim in the water – it can be cold and fast flowing. Even the strongest swimmers have been known to get into trouble.
Mobile phone coverage is unreliable in Waterfall Country. Emergency phones and phone boxes are indicated on the map. For walking, rock climbing or caving accidents call Police on 999 or 112 and ask for Mountain Rescue.

lyn Llech Owain Country Park is an area of 73 Hectares (180 acres), managed for your enjoyment by Carmarthenshire County Council with nature trails, an adventure area including a cool wooden adventure playground, separate toddler playground with smaller features. A forest track provides a longer hike or bike ride around the country park and there's a rough mountain bike trail for the more adventurous cyclists amongst you!
At the heart of the Country Park is the lake, which is surrounded by a peat bog. This rare habitat is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Elsewhere are areas of heathland and broadleaved woodland, whilst areas of coniferous woodland are being cleared progressively and converted to heathland and broadleaved woodland.
A network of footpaths provides for enjoyable walking. Many paths are well surfaced and accessible to wheelchair users.
A specially constructed path allows safe access over the peat bog and around the lake.
It's a point of interest that kids may like to know that legend has it that historic serviceman Owain Lawgoch (known as Owain The Red Hand in the the Hundred Years' War) was entrusted to look after Mynydd Mawr, a well on the mountain. Every day, after withdrawing enough water for he and his horse, Owain was always very careful to replace the stone slab which held back the water. However on one occasion he somehow completely forgot to do that and an absolute torrent of water poured down the side of the mountain! The resultant lake was hence named Llyn Lech Owain, meaning 'the lake of Owain's slab'!
The Visitor Centre stands beside the lake, enjoying splendid views of Llyn Llech Owain and the surrounding area. It houses an exhibition and information on the management of the Country Park.
Our team of Countryside Rangers is based here and will be happy to answer your questions or to hear about wildlife you may have seen.
Llyn Llech Owain has a cafeteria, picnic sites, and toilet facilities, all with provision for the disabled. We hope you enjoy a visit here soon!

We went as a fathers day dinner and oh my word what a fabulous experience. The food was phenomenal, full of flavour, well presented and the portions were hearty. The service was great in a wonderful atmosphere. The Grade II listed building was transformed from being a former hydraulic accumulator tower built around the 1900s.
We can't wait to return.

Just had a lovely meal here. Both the service and food were great. The menu is just enough to have you pondering what to have and what ever you choose you are already thinking about what you will have on your next visit.
The food was not just flavoursome but also plentiful. We only had main courses and couldn't think about starter let alone desert. Hhhhmmmmm.
