Aberdulais Tin Works and Waterfall
Aberdulais Falls in the Neath Valley of South Wales has been harnessing the power of its rushing waters since the 16th century, supporting corn mills, copper smelting and tinplate works across the centuries. Today the waterfall itself is the main attraction — a dramatic and picturesque cascade beloved by artists including J. M. W. Turner — and a modern turbine makes the site one of Europe's largest electricity-generating waterfalls open to the public. History and nature combine here in genuinely dramatic fashion.
