Melincourt Falls
Melincourt Falls is a spectacular 80 feet (24 m) high waterfall on Melin Court Brook, a left-bank tributary of the Neath River, located 1-mile (1.6 km) south of Resolven in the county borough of Neath Port Talbot, South Wales. It is formed where the brook plunges over a resistant band of 'Lower Pennant Sandstone' in a 13 acre hectare nature reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. the falls have been drawing visitors for at least two centuries - they are certainly known to have inspired J. M. W. Turner to paint them in 1794. the falls are considered by some to constitute a part of "Waterfall Country" though the bulk of these falls are a few miles further north-east at the head of the Vale of Neath.
