Waterfall on Afon Sawdde This is the river Sawdde flowing north towards Llangadog. At this point there are roads either side of it: a minor one on the left bank; and the A4069 to Brynaman on the right. The whole length of the riverbank here is composed of upended strata of rock. You can drive past thousands of years of geology without even realising it.

Sediment ripples in roadside quarry At the side of the minor road by the river Sawdde there is a small quarry (or large alcove). As with the riverbank, it is composed of upended strata. Here though the thick clumsy layers are replaced with thinner, more delicate strata. On the vertical face you can see ripples in the sediment that once lay flat, presumably caused by wind or water.

Falls at Pont Aber These falls on the Afon Sawdde Fechan are just visible from the road bridge but you can get a much better view from the public footpath on the south bank.
