Famous waterfall and fascinating industrial site with tin workers' exhibition

Set in a steep gorge, this place demonstrates the power of water and its impact on industry.

Our film Reflections on Tin traces its 400-year history, from 1584, including a visit by the famous artist JMW Turner.

An early water-powered tinplate works was the last of many industries pioneered here. Today the waters of the River Dulais are used to make Aberdulais Tin Works and Waterfall self-sufficient in environmentally friendly energy. It has the largest electricity-generating waterwheel in Europe.

Lifts enable visitors to access the cinema and the upper levels for excellent views of the falls.
