Sgwd Gwladus Stone
Sgwd Gwladus Stone submitted by pab : Sgwd Gwladus Stone. This magnificent stone is above the Sgwd Gwladus waterfall. It does not seem to be the 'Logan' or Rocking Stone shown on the OS Map - at least, we couldn't get this one to rock! It therefore seem to justify a mention in its own right.

Natural Stone / Glacial Erratic in Powys

Wonderfully proportioned erratic above the Sgwd Gwladus falls located in the 'Waterfall country' between Ystradfellte and Pontneddfechan.

As can be seen by the comparison with the 'marker' in the accompanying picture, the erratic is approximately 2 metres cubed.

It is next to the Afon (River) Pyrddin which forms the boundary between the counties of Powys and Neath Port Talbot (formerly West Glamorgan) at this point.
