The Pistyll y Llyn – or at least one section of what, in my estimation, is one of the UK’s finest – not to mention highest – waterfalls... far superior to the famous falls at Devil’s Bridge. The cairn crowning the high ground overlooking the river to the east is totally at odds with what the experienced walker would expect from a ‘Pumlumon’ type of monument, capped by pure quartzite. Suggestion is this magnificent waterfall had something to do with this deviation from the norm? If our predecessors did possess ‘special’ landscape features, surely this was one?
PLEASE NOTE: obtaining this image was a pretty dangerous exercise in retrospect...

Imagining the sight and roar when in full spate.. you're doubtless correct.
