Stunning waterfall named one of the best in the country

A series of waterfalls have been named among the best in the UK.

Waterfall Country in Powys, Wales has been named among the most stunning waterfalls in the country in a new study. The area actually features four waterfalls.

Research by Finest Filters analysed Instagram hashtags associated with the waterfalls, including their names in their country of origin, to find the most stunning waterfalls in the UK.

Data for 30 locations were pulled and ranked to reveal the top 10. The closest waterfall to Merseyside - though still nearly four hours away by car - was Waterfall Country, which came in at number eight with 14,187 Instagram hashtags.

The waterfalls, Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Y Pannwr and Sgwd yr Eira, are situated within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The falls of Waterfall Country are formed by the rivers Mellte, Hepste, Pyrddin, and Nedd-fechan. The four rivers cut through deep gorges lined with trees, before joining together to form the River Neath.

By following the aptly named four waterfalls walk, visitors can enjoy a 3.1-mile circular loop that cuts through the primeval woodland of the Brecon Beacons and stops by the four spectacular Welsh waterfalls.

Visitors are advised to park only in designated areas and check social media before your trip, as updates will be posted on particularly busy days. You can find Waterfall Country at 2 High St, Pontneddfechan, Glynneath, Neath SA11 5NP.
