You can own stunning waterfalls and caves if you buy this plot of Welsh land

As an example of Wales' beauty, the waterfalls and rocky gorges where the Neath Valley meets the Brecon Beacons are probably right up there.

And now you can buy a little piece of it for your very own.

Part of the wooded Sychryd Gorge tourist area near Glynneath, is currently for sale at rock-bottom guide price of  £80,000.

The area is popular with the public because of a number of highlights including the Sgydau Sychryd cascades and luscious wooded valleys but you can have your very own bit of private land.  There's nowhere to build any sort of property, but the views and tranquility are stunning.

So what do you get for your money with this particular 'property' sale?

The most distinctive feature is the impressive limestone rock formation known as Bwa Maen, which is a stone bow in the rock strata along a faultline in the Earth's crust. 

This distinctive rock of solid carboniferous limestone was formed as a result of movements in the Earth's crust and the subsequent erosion but that was millions of years ago.

The sale includes not only the rock but the cave complex too and a stretch of the river Sychryd including its cascading waterfalls.

Ideal for any potential buyer that loves nature and outdoor pursuits, especially cavers, this is certainly a unique plot for sale and comes with about more 15 acres of land, too.

Luckily these caves are not on this list

There'll be no stress trying to obtain planning permission, choosing house designs and interior design styles; there's no building allowed on the site, so it might have to be back to the caveman era and huddling around a campfire before retiring to your cave - or tent, if you're brave and careful -  for the night.

For further information about the chance to own an iconic and idyllic slice of the Welsh countryside and geological history, call estate agent BJP on 01558 822468 for further details.
