Sgwd Clun-gwyn, whose name means 'Fall of the white meadow' is the uppermost of the three celebrated falls on the River Mellte in Brecknockshire. It is also known as Sgwd Uchaf Clun-gwyn ('Upper Fall of the white meadow').
This waterfall and its neighbours are part of Brecknockshire's Waterfall Country, which encompasses many beautiful waterfalls on the rivers running from the southern slopes of the Brecon Beacons.
The fall is formed where a north-north-west to south-southeast trending geological fault brings hard sandstone up against softer mudstone.
