A popular mountain pathway has been closed off to the public due to safety concerns after a landslip following Storm Dennis left rock and debris on site. As a result, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has advised the public of the dangers of using the pathway by erecting "no access" warning signs along the route.
Pen Pych mountain is in the Rhondda Fawr valley and is one of the area's most prominent landmarks, with pathways passing idyllic waterfalls., forests and breathtaking views. It is also one of Europe's two table-top mountains.
The path at Pen Pych, which goes from the waterfall viewing area up past the top waterfall and onto the summit of Pen Pych, is a popular route among locals and visitors from all over the world. However, this pathway is not a dedicated Public Right of Way (PRoW) or a part of NRW's walking trail network and is therefore not routinely managed or inspected by NRW or the Local Authority.
