Melincourt Falls, Waterfall and scenic viewpoint in Neath Port Talbot County Borough, Wales.

Melincourt Falls features a single cascade plunging 24 meters from a vertical rock face into a natural pool surrounded by dense woodland.

The waterfall became a destination for Victorian travelers who documented its natural characteristics through detailed paintings and written accounts.

Local Welsh communities named the falls Rhaeadr Melin y cwrt and Sgwd Rhyd Yr Hesg, reflecting their connection to nearby mills and river rushes.

A designated parking area leads to a maintained walking path that guides visitors through woodland to reach the base of the falls.

The waterfall creates a secondary cascade during high rainfall periods, forming a parallel water stream alongside the main 24-meter drop.
