In 1819 the Gwladys or Lady Falls on the river Pyrddin moved William Weston Young to write a poem which opens:
'Sweet scene of features soft and mild,
Mix'd with objects grand and wild
Rocks of soft though darken'd hue,
Foliage rich and varied too;
After gently gliding by,
O'er smooth rocks of polish'd face,
Where each joint and line we trace'
