The Aberdulais Falls on the River Dulais at Aberdulais, near Neath, Neath Port Talbot, Wales are home to Europe's largest electricity-generating waterwheel.

The falls are in the care of the National Trust.

[edit] History

Power has been drawn from the waterfall since 1584, when it first provided energy used in the manufacture of copper, and for the later tinplate works.
