Neath is a town and community situated in the principal area of Neath Port Talbot, Wales. Historically in Glamorgan, the town of Neath is located on the river of the same name, 7 miles (11 km) east northeast of Swansea.
Historically, Neath was the crossing place of the River Neath and has existed as a settlement since the Romans established the fort of Nido or Nidum in the AD 70s. The Roman fort took its name from the River Nedd; the meaning is obscure but 'shining' or simply 'river' have been suggested. Neath is the Anglicised form.
St Illtyd visited the Neath area and established a settlement in what is now known as Llantwit on the northern edge of the town. The church of St. Illtyd was built at this settlement and was enlarged in Norman times. The Norman and pre Norman church structure remains intact and active to day within the Church in Wales. The Welsh language name for Neath is Castell-nedd, referring to the Norman Neath Castle.
Neath was a market town that expanded with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century with new manufacturing industries of iron, steel and tinplate. The Mackworth family, who owned the Gnoll Estate. The River Neath is a navigable estuary and Neath was a river port until recent times. The heavy industries are no more with the town being a commercial and tourism centre. Attractions for visitors are the ruins of the Cistercian Neath Abbey, the Gnoll Park and Neath Indoor Market.

Swansea, officially known as the City and County of Swansea, is a coastal city and county in Wales. Swansea is the second largest city in Wales after Cardiff, and the twenty-fifth largest city in the UK.
Swansea lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan and the ancient Welsh commote of Gŵyr. Situated on the sandy South West Wales coast, the county of Swansea area includes the Gower Peninsula and the Lliw uplands.
The City and County of Swansea local authority area is bordered by unitary authorities of Carmarthenshire to the north, and Neath Port Talbot to the east. Swansea is bounded by Swansea Bay and the Bristol Channel to the south. Swansea can be roughly divided into four physical areas. To the north are the Lliw uplands which are mainly open moorland, reaching the foothills of the Black Mountain. To the west is the Gower Peninsula with its rural landscape dotted with small villages. To the east is the coastal strip around Swansea Bay. Cutting though the middle from the south-east to the north-west is the urban and suburban zone stretching from the Swansea city centre to the towns of Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
Swansea City A.F.C. (founded 1912) is the city's main football association team. Originally playing at the Vetch Field, they moved to the Liberty Stadium at the start of the 2005–2006 season, winning promotion to League One in their final year at their old stadium. The team presently play in the Premier League, after being promoted during the 2010/11 season. The Football Association of Wales had decided that for the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, Wales would play all of their home ties at either the Cardiff City Stadium or the Liberty Stadium. Swansea has three association football clubs that play in the Welsh Football League: Garden Village, South Gower and West End.

Canyoning - The Bucket List Activity To be Experienced in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales, UK
- This is our canyoning video showing one of our groups on this high adrenaline adventure activity which takes place in the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales.
Canyoning, or canyoneering, is, as we describe it, white water rafting but without the raft! If you see canyoning described like this by anyone else then they've obviously read our website. The activity involves being guided by our experienced outdoor adventure canyoning instructors along a breath taking deep sided river gorge located in the famous waterfall country of the Brecon Beacons in Wales.
You follow the river downstream from close to its' source in the mountains. Whatever the river does you do! So when you come to the 3 awe inspiring waterfalls along the way you either walk across the top, behind them or why not just jump off them! 30ft isn't that high is it?

WONDERFUL FOUR WATERFALLS WALK (Bannau Brycheiniog National Park) #holiday#wales#waterfall
Waterfall Country
Located right on the south-westerly edge of the National Park this area is truly one of the splendours of Wild Wales and amongst the most beautiful and popular parts of the National Park. Here the rivers Mellte, Hepste, Pyrddin and Nedd-fechan wind their way down deep, tree-lined gorges, over a series of dramatic waterfalls, before joining to form the River Neath.
Waterfall Country is a very special place to visit with many things to see
and do. This area is of international importance in terms of the wildlife it
supports and it has been designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The area receives around 160,000 visitors a year which includes walkers,
outdoor groups, photographers, climbers, cavers and canoeists. As a result of the immense pressure this fragile site has been suffering. Many of the paths and areas around the waterfalls have become heavily eroded. For the last two years Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority,Natural Resources Wales and the Countryside Council for Wales have been working closely to try and undo the damage.
The Wildlife of Waterfall Country
The water creates a humid and wet atmosphere and the steep sides shelter the area from sun and wind. This warm and wet environment is filled with plant life covering every available surface. It is a Welsh rainforest, far more scarce than the more familiar tropical rainforest. There are only a handful of places like it anywhere in the world.
Waterfall Country is a magical place, but also a fragile place. The mosses, ferns and other plants all cling onto rocks and trees and can easily be dislodged by passing feet. All visitors are asked to keep to marked footpaths and to take care not to damage trees or moss covered rocks. With your help, we can keep this place special for future generations. Visitors to the site can play a part in looking after this stunning area. For most of us the biggest contribution we can make is to:
– keep to the footpaths
– take litter home with us
– avoid disturbance to plants and wildlife
– leave fallen wood alone
– not cut trees for firewood
History and Geology
Waterfall Country is an area of historical significance and also falls within the Fforest Fawr Geopark.
There are around 130 known historic sites within Waterfall Country, ranging from the hillfort at Craig y Ddinas, the industrial buildings of the Glynneath Gunpowder Works to Sarn Helen – an ancient Roman road running between Coelbren and Brecon Gaer forts – that skirts the north-western edge of Waterfall Country.
The industrial remains of the area are relatively rich. The industrial sites were located close to their source of material or power.

We ended up coming across a beach and some castles that were basically tourist free and then at the end we managed to go see this BEAUTIFUL waterfall. I didn't know such place existed in UK.
