New Radnor

Haven't had a waterfall for a while, so here's a rather lovely one. Tucked away in a quiet steep sided valley in the Radnor Hills of Mid Wales is the fine 'Water-Break-It's- Neck' waterfall. For the life of me I can't find out how it got its colourful name, but it could well be an invention to spark the interest of Victorian tourists who seemed to love coming here. The waterfall is about 80 feet high. The Radnor Hills are mainly rather bleak moorland, but this little corner is beautifully planted with a trees - which again was intended to enhance the experience of the Victorian tourist. It really is a beautiful spot and usually quiet, but as ever with waterfalls it is at its best after a period of rain.
