A short trip into Wales in spring. with a visit to the hills, a lake and waterfalls
Pistyll Rhaeadr, an enchanting waterfall nestled in the Berwyn Mountains, just inside Wales, west of Oswestry and Shrewsbury, captivates visitors with its 240ft (80m) height, making it Britain’s tallest single-drop waterfall.
