There is at least one participant on here who will kick himself if he doesn't get this one, his usual response to failing to identify somewhere he has been. :D

We are in mid Wales.

Rhiwnant waterfalls, methinks (though I didn't actually see them, taking a different route down from the “Rather-unprepossessing-hill-topped-by-two-mongol-helmets-located-not-too-far-from-the-Elan-Valley-and-some-attractive-waterfalls” - aka Drygarn Fawr).

Correct. The Rhiwnant valley is delightful, what it leads to less so. But I plan to go back there later this Autumn, if only for the solitude and otherness of the place.

Your go.

Pure guesswork, somewhere in or near the Elan Valley.

No. Further north. I visited these falls because I noticed them and the associated contours on the OS.

That's a very wide field. Think we need a little help.

OK. They're not too far west of Llangollen...

Guess Nany y Lladron or somewhere around the northern Berwyns.

Not Nant y Lladron, but, yes, northern Berwyns. Can you be a bit more precise?

Clue: neither the valley nor the falls are named on the map...!

Yes, you have! A superb cataract - can't understand why it doesn't have a name!!

Your go.

I've seen them referred to as the Ceiriog Waterfalls but that is possibly just so they can be referenced in walk descriptions.

Which hill is this?
