About Severn-Break-its-Neck Walk
From the car park follow the start of the Cascades Trail to the boardwalk and turn left along the river bank. Pass the footbridge on your right and continue up to a meadow picnic area. The path follows the river and passes through highly scented woodlands of Noble Fir. From the Severn-Break-its-Neck bridge you can look into the yawning gully down which the Severn thunders in its first true waterfall.
How to get there:
Severn-Break-its-Neck Walk can be started from Rhydybenwch Picnic Site in Hafren Forest which is part of Hafren. Llanidloes is the nearest town or village.
