Editor's Notes
Pistyll y Llyn is one of the tallest waterfalls in Wales and the United Kingdom. It is a horsetail style set of falls which are located in the Cambrian Mountains about 2+1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) from Glaspwll in Powys, Wales. Height is a matter of contention in Wales, with many sources claiming that Pistyll Rhaeadr is the tallest waterfall in Wales or the tallest single-drop waterfall in the UK, despite being significantly surpassed in height by Pistyll y Llyn, Devil's Appendix and the waterfall at Nant Maesglase.
