One of the most impressive waterfalls in the whole of Wales! Easy access by car then good walking through stunning deciduous woodland surrounding the deep gorge and dripping with mosses and lichens. Can you find the hermits cave atop of the falls?

Worth a trip simply for lunch in the clubhouse (all welcomed and great comfort food for all ages). The course plays like a lynx, is ranked highly by Golf Monthly, and offers challenging golf and breathtaking views across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Radnorshire (and beyond - seven counties in all, if you count the old Welsh ones).
