NRW said it offered its “sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in Waterfall Country”.
“We have made, and continue to make, improvements across Waterfall Country. This includes maintaining and improving signage and footpaths, monitoring high‑risk areas, and encouraging people to stay on the waymarked trails. This work is informed by an independent safety review we commissioned in 2023,” a spokesperson said.
“We are committed to reducing risks wherever possible, recognising that Waterfall Country is a beautiful but wild and rugged place to visit and there are inherent risks.
“We strongly urge people, even experienced swimmers, not to enter the water, to come prepared for the terrain, and to keep to waymarked trails during their visit.”
Regarding Suzie Dyer’s fall, the NRW added: “We would like to reassure people that clear warnings are in place at the point where visitors leave the Four Falls Trail at Clun‑Gwyn Uchaf Waterfall.
“This includes prominent signage explaining that there is a closed path ahead that is dangerous, with unstable and narrow sections, falling rocks and unprotected steep drops. The sign also shares that fatal and serious accidents have occurred along this path recently.”
