For over 300 years this famous waterfall has provided the energy
to drive the wheels of industry, from the manufacture of copper in 1584 to
present-day remains of a tinplate works. It has also been visited by famous
artists, such as Turner in 1796. The site today houses a unique hydroelectric
scheme which has been developed to harness the waters of the Dulais river. The
Turbine House provides access to an interactive computer, fish pass, observation
window and display panels. Special lifts have been installed to allow disabled
visitors access to the upper levels, which afford excellent views of the Falls.
The new waterwheel, the largest currently used in Europe to generate
electricity, makes Aberdulais Falls self-sufficient in environmentally friendly
energy .
