What's of interest

Take care in waterside areas as lakes and rivers can be dangerous. Water is often cold deep and fast flowing. The ground near waterfalls is also steep rough and slippery. Keep to footpaths to prevent unecessary erosion. Car park volunteer wardens scheme operates in this area, local information can be sought from them (they wear yellow jackets with BBNP, FC and Powys police logos on them).
