Melincourt Falls is a 80ft wooded gorge waterfall on the River Neath—great for long exposures, mossy foregrounds and layered compositions with cliffs and trees. Best at golden hour and after steady rain for volume; autumn and spring offer color and flow. Short walk from roadside parking (pay/permit info varies), paths can be muddy and slippery—sturdy boots recommended. No entry fee; arrive weekdays or early mornings to avoid locals. Respect fenced viewpoints and private land.
