Cavern Cascade, Hafod Of the many eccentric Picturesque adornments that Thomas Johnes (1748 - 1816) made to his Hafod estate, blowing a curved tunnel through a massive rock, in order to afford the visitor an intimate view of a waterfall on the Nant Gau, was something of a pièce-de-resistance. Even today, it is thrilling.

Entrance to the Cavern Cascade, Hafod The Cavern Cascade (see my 2013 photo <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7313481">SN7772 : Cavern Cascade, Hafod</a>) is one of the most dazzling highlights of the eighteenth century Picturesque features dotted around the Hafod estate. Clear felling the forestry above the cave's entrance resulted in a minor rock fall, which Natural Resources Wales have used as an excuse to close the cave and fall to visitors. There is currently no stated intention nor timetable to re-open it.
