Dist:0.9km<br/>The footbridge has been removed crossing the River Neath and the piers of the old aqueduct at Ynysbwllog have been removed. This is to allow new piers to be built to support a cast iron trough. The trough will be in a single span and when completed it will be the longest span in Britain.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A short and pleasant walk up the river from the main road leads to this rather spectacular waterfall.
