To everyone visiting the waterfall and surrounding Berwyn mountains. This is just a stones throw away as the crow fly's. Please do not have BBQ's. Leave any rubbish around or throw cigarette butts away all of which could positively ignite a fire. Please be sensible in this extremely hot, dry weather. Thank you

We’ve got a little mix of good news and not-so-bad news to share…

🎉 The good news:
After 18 months, the road damaged during Storm Darragh is now officially OPEN again hooray! 🥳
A big thank you to Powys Council and their hardworking contractors for restoring the crash barriers and fencing and getting things back in shape.

🚧 The “not-so-bad” news:
Resurfacing work is due to begin on the opposite side from tomorrow (weather permitting), which means the road we’ve all been using for the past 18 months will now temporarily close while those works are completed by Powys Council.

So… a bit of a swap around, but not too bad at all 😊 we're nearly there!

🚗 Getting around:
You can still reach Rhiwargor car park, Blue Monday Coffee, and the waterfall, just cross the dam and turn right this time. For access to the hotel follow diversion signs or contact the hotel itself.

⚠️ A gentle reminder:
The newly reopened section of road is narrower and more bendy than the other road. Please take it steady, keep an eye out for others, and share the road kindly, especially with cyclists and walkers.

We’ll keep you posted if anything changes and let you know as soon as everything is fully open again. Believe us, we cant wait to announce when its fully open.

Thanks, as always, for your patience, support, and for looking after this special place with us 💚

Mae gennym ni gymysgedd bach o newyddion da a newyddion ddim mor ddrwg i’w rhannu…

🎉 Y newyddion da:
Ar ôl 18 mis, mae’r ffordd a gafodd ei difrodi yn ystod Storm Darragh bellach **ar agor yn swyddogol — hwrê!** 🥳
Diolch o galon i Gyngor Powys a’u contractwyr gweithgar am adfer y rhwystrau diogelwch a’r ffensys ac am gael popeth yn ôl yn ei le.

🚧 Y newyddion “ddim mor ddrwg”:
Mae gwaith ail-wynebu i fod i ddechrau ar yr ochr gyferbyn o yfory ymlaen (yn dibynnu ar y tywydd), sy’n golygu y bydd y ffordd rydyn ni i gyd wedi bod yn ei defnyddio dros y 18 mis diwethaf yn cau dros dro tra bydd y gwaith hwnnw’n cael ei gwblhau gan Gyngor Powys.

Felly… ychydig o gyfnewid, ond dim rhy ddrwg o gwbl 😊 rydyn ni bron yno!

🚗 Symud o gwmpas:
Gallwch chi barhau i gyrraedd maes parcio Rhiwargor, Blue Monday Coffee a’r rhaeadr, croeswch y morglawdd ac yna trowch i’r dde y tro hwn. I gael mynediad i’r gwesty, dilynwch yr arwyddion dargyfeirio neu cysylltwch â’r gwesty ei hun.

⚠️ Cofiwch yn garedig:
Mae’r darn o’r ffordd sydd newydd ailagor yn gulach ac yn fwy troellog na’r ffordd arall. Cymerwch hi’n araf, cadwch lygad am eraill, a rhannwch y ffordd yn garedig, yn enwedig gyda beicwyr a cherddwyr.

Byddwn yn eich hysbysu os bydd unrhyw newidiadau pellach, ac yn sicr fe wnawn roi gwybod pan fydd pob ffordd ar agor yn llawn eto. Credwch ni, allwn ni ddim aros i wneud y cyhoeddiad hwnnw!

Diolch o galon, fel bob amser, am eich amynedd, eich cefnogaeth, ac am helpu i ofalu am y lle arbennig hwn gyda ni 💚

Please be advised that the very narrow lane leading to the waterfall is currently blocked due to the amount of cars going up and down. We understand people want to visit on such a beautiful day but it may be a good idea to try another day. Safe travels

To all Camper Van Tourists. Please be advised that the road up to the waterfall is extremely narrow. Passing on coming vehicles is difficult, passing places are small and there is a steep drop on the left hand side on the way up. Hold ups will accrue. It's also Lambing Season so please give way to Farmers who need to get where they are going to tend to their sheep. Please drive safely. Many thanks.

Please be advised that it's gridlock on the lane leading to the waterfall this afternoon. It's understandable that people want to visit over the Easter weekend but it might be best to leave it for another time when you will have less chance of getting stuck. Safe travels.
