A walk in the Nant Gwernol valley

[cmcmck]

Across the footbridge into a landscape of water and rock in the Welsh hills.



Nant Gwernol in Welsh means Gwernol Stream and it's a pretty spectacular stream!















Climbing higher up the valley:







Across the bridge over the stream.

A perfect spot for kingfishers:

That water is so clear. You are fortunate to live near something so beautiful.

The Welsh coast is our nearest sea coast as we live in Shropshire which is about as far from the sea as you can get in these islands (admittedly that's never all that far).

Is it exoticizing of me to feel that your surroundings have the perpetual air of a fantasy novel about to ensue?

[cmcmck]

Well, where we live is the centre of the whole run of Ellis Peters' Cadfael novels so you may well be right!

Love those shots of running water -- and that pool is so clear!

[cmcmck]

We weren't lucky enough to see any kingfishers this time, but that's a perect spot for them.

How beautiful!

And sunlight on the water as well! (That's never happened on my visits to Wales...)

Wales has the reputation for a lot of rain but we were lucky this time! :o)

Stunning photos of a stunning place! In stunning weather!

[cmcmck]

We had decent weather for the trip apart from a couple of wildly windy nights.

That is a lovely stream, with some lovely photos...makes me want to visit Wales. (Last visited in the 1980s...ah, it was beautiful then too.)

[cmcmck]

It stays beautiful!

Beautiful! Love all those mossy trees and rocks.

[cmcmck]

The Welsh landscape is, to say the least of it, damp, so such things thrive.

Absolutely gorgeous shots, especially the waterfall!!
