Afon Hepste
One of the few rivers with a public footpath running underneath it!
Starting as the Afon y Waun on the southern slopes of Fan Fawr, the river assumes the name of Afon Hepste when it is joined by the Nant y Cwrier. It follows a generally south-westward course to its meeting with the Afon Mellte but not before having plunged over the celebrated falls of Sgwd yr Eira.
Regrettably the footpath remains closed to the public in early 2008 due to the possibility of rockfall.
