Since 1584, according to the National Trust, water has powered industry at Aberdulais Falls, where a German engineer is said to have chosen the site as a discreet place to smelt copper. The waterfall has been part of more than four centuries of industrial activity, and the waterwheel there is over eight metres across.

Dogs at Aberdulais Falls
The National Trust says dogs are welcome all year round and have plenty of space to roam, but asks owners to keep them on a short lead. Rules and facilities can change, so check the National Trust website before you set off. If your dog finds crowds tricky, a short lead and a calm approach make the visit easier, and a trainer from the directory above can help with that.
Busy valley paths
Waterfalls and busy valley paths can be too much for some dogs. A trainer from our directory can help with short-lead manners, and Calmshops has the Calmdogs calming collar if you’d like to look at options alongside that. If you’re worried about your dog’s behaviour, ask your vet.
