It also forms a part of the boundary of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The river and its waterfalls are one of the key attractions of the recently designated Fforest Fawr Geopark. The name could be a reference to Saint David, the patron saint of Wales – purddyn meaning "pure man" in Welsh – although the likelihood of this has been disputed.
