Berwyns
After a brief look at the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, we headed up onto the Berwyn ridge, first of all tackling Moel Sych, and then Cadair Berwyn, both at just over 2,700ft (820+m). It's a little bit quiet at this time of year, but we still managed to see plenty of Stonechats, Ravens, Buzzard and a family party of Whinchats. Pistyll Rhaeadr, the highest waterfall in Wales, and Cadair Berwyn (2723ft). Llyn Lluncaws and the Berwyn moorland. The Berwyns are the dramatic end of a large area of high moorland. Cloudberry Rubus chamaemorus and English Stonecrop Sedum anglicum. Cloudberry is a very rare plant in Wales, only found in the Berwyns.
