Sightseeing

There is a gorgeous waterfall walk from the Angel pub in Pontneddfechan. You can make it as long as you want , but going up river and back can be as short as 4 miles. There is a cafe opposite the pub too. I'd recommend the pub meals any day. The staff are lovely. Free to park along the road to the pub.
