If swimming at the top pool it's a bit of a slippery climb, not ideal for children. Not much space to change that isn't slippery of on a little slope. Entry to water is ok, you can slowly lower into the water from the rocks in the side but water is very deep once in. Stunning water, double waterfalls behind. Other option is to swim at the bottom of the waterfall.
Location
Getting there
Park in Rhiwagor car park which is half way around the lake. You then take a 10 minute walk following the river, over the bridge. If swimming at the top of the waterfall you'll have to cross the river and climb up.
Accessibility
Can be slippery and very muddy most of the year round. But so worth it!
