Marloes DK 5/30/2025Prachtige wandeling in groene omgeving langs rivier met schitterende watervallen, vooral de laatste aan deze kortere wandelroute was schitterend.

Paul Williams 8/26/2024The best of the four big waterfalls because you can walk behind the curtain of water which is exhilarating. You'll get a bit damp because of the spray, but well worth it. Gets busy on a nice summer day so maybe pick a grim Monday in the winter instead. Steps down are steep so not ideal for wheelchairs or tiny people.read moreread less
Rebecca D 8/26/2024Beautiful falls, sadly strewn in litter by those that don’t deserve to enjoy areas of natural beauty The falls are stunning, all I can say is please take a spare carrier bag and leave the place tidier than you found it. It’s a short walk from the carpark yet I filled a whole carrier bag with litter. It’s a stunning falls but when you walk behind and are greeted with take away coffee cups it takes the shine off.
I saw a could get engaged here and all I kept thinking was how sad their pictures will be ruined with litter in them. Sad reality of walking anywhere beautiful these days, the ‘entitled couldn’t care less brigade’ are slowly ruining all our countrysideread moreread less
Tourist68678930492 8/26/2024Stunning- well worth a visit You will need to brace yourself for windy roads but the car park is pretty good and the view is worth the gradient.

Wild_Panther 8/25/2024Beautiful waterfall Very impressive waterfall!
We didn't go behind it, but plenty of people do.
First visited in April was fewer people but more fully fall. And just recently, in mid August, car park was nearly full at 6pm and not as much water.
Walk to the waterfall is down a steep route but going back up is not as easy but worth it!
Car park is free. unless full than can pay on farmers land for a fee.read moreread less

Kayleigh Price 8/15/2024This place is beautiful and so refreshing. The trial took about 4 hours in total, and we stopped off at each waterfall. The waterfalls were beautiful, and it was so tranquil. The steps going down to some of the waterfalls are a bit steep, so I would recommend a good pair of shoes or hiking boots as it can be a bit slippy and muddy. The car park was good and had toilets.

Guy Tsur 8/15/2024I think that the nature in this area is outstanding, but hikers should beware of the misleading signage and instructions in the park. The "4 Waterfalls Trail" does not go through the 4 waterfalls, it brings you close to them so you can hike different roads to them. Overall you end up walking twice the mileage, so be advised.read moreread less

rachiekerz 8/14/202410/10 for the waterfalls 0/10 for the crowds. Stunning place and definitely worth seeing if you’re in the area. I’ve wanted to visit for ages and I’m so glad we went. Beyond beautiful and worth the walk.
There are two car parks, card only, £6 and they fill up fast. No where else local to park properly. We parked at Cwm Porth, toilets are handy. Buying a map for £1 was great, especially knowing the money goes back to the park.
No bins on the way around so be prepared to take your litter home with you. It was VERY upsetting to see how many people clearly had room in their bags for crisps/drinks/sandwiches/wet wipes etc while they served a purpose but once packets/bottles were empty, apparently they don’t have space to carry them anymore. Disgusting.
Several parts of the walk are tough going if you’re not a keen walker/hiker. Lots of steep steps and slippy bits but manageable if you take it slow. It’s all pretty rugged and natural as it should be. Just take your time if you’re not confident.
Shame about all the other people there. It’s been plastered all over social media so every man and their badly behaved dog was there. Go mid week when the kids are back at school though and it’s probably much better. Queueing to look at nature felt weird.read moreread less

Letizia Protopapa 8/08/2024Beautiful place. My partner and I didn't do the whole trail, we only got to the first waterfall and got back. Even this way, it took us a good couple of hours (we don't go hiking often). My main advice is to wear proper shoes and pay extra attention to areas that are wet/muddy as it can be very slippery. Restrooms: There was a public toilet outside at the start of the trail, but it was quite dirty and smelly.read moreread less
hollip514 8/06/2024Beautiful!!! Beautiful walk, defo wear some comfy footwear and have a change of clothes if you go in the rain/muddy weather. 6.15k took us to 2 waterfalls around 2 hours. 170 down to the water fall you can walk behind - I suggest counting them as you walk back up, makes it easier to climb.read moreread less 
Explorer786629 8/05/2024For waterfalls - amazing The carpark is now £6 and is by card machine

KVM64MM 8/01/2024Beautiful falls ruined by litter. The waterfalls are beautiful, but the park is badly maintained. There is rubbish strewn everywhere - although the wardens claim they pick it up every day, I just don't believe it, there's no way that amount of rubbish could be produced each day and some of it looked pretty old.
Some of the steps down to the waterfall are quite eroded so the stair risers are poking out of the ground and are a considerable trip hazard.
Lovely falls but the whole experience was spoiled by the litter and cans bobbing around in the waterfall waterfall water.read moreread less

Noybta 7/26/2024Great walk - just don’t believe the wardens (too much) ! Great waterfall walk - very spectacular even on a grey day. The wardens are friendly but their advice seems to be geared towards managing the crowds not actually the best experience.
First thing to say - if you can park at Porth Cwm, do - the walk from their is MUCH nicer than the dull walk in from Gwuan Hepste (especially if you do it both directions). If Porth Cwm is full there’s a nice path that takes you there from Gwaun Hepste (the wardens say there isn’t). Not on the OS Map or the site map weirdly but signed if the look backwards (only if you look back?!) as you pass a path on the right walking down the main route. Then don’t neglect to check out the cave where the river Melte disappears underground - and reappears 250m downstream (either side of Porth Cwm carpark). Then do the main waterfall route anti-clockwise rather than clockwise (as the wardens advise) so you walk behind the bottom waterfall as the climax (and latest in the day when it may catch the sun)read moreread less

Signposted well and paths well layed out but didn’t take away from the surrounding nature. You can even walk behind the waterfall! Choose the length of your track, and different car parking spaces. Was £5 for parking but I think that’s worth the stunning location, views and day out. I would recommend going during the week to avoid business of weekends as it would definitely be busy.read moreread less

Bruce C 7/24/2024Amazing Challenging Walk With Great waterfalls Amazing walk including 4 varied waterfalls, well signed posted and wardens / information point at beginning of Gwaun Hepste Car park, including caravan coffee/tea shop and toilets (although porta loos). All day parking for just a fiver.
The walk itself although it was July, the paths up and down to the waterfalls were still wet and slippery and quite challenging i.e steep and long, the circular path if you avoid going down to the waterfalls (but what's the point in that) is quite easy to navigate and suitable for all, with several benches and picnic spots.
The waterfalls are amazing with the chance to walk behind one and take pictures or get soaked.

Nidhin Xavier 7/22/2024So far my experience with hiking with both baby and toddler has been enjoyable, but you need a lot of time and patience. It takes longer to pack, to leave the house and to leave the car but it's so worth it. Get a back pack style so you can pack the kid on your back. Much easier to walk and maintain balance.

Natasha O 7/14/2024Gorgeous place but a hard walk Absolutely gorgeous place but NOT an easy walk.. Lovely path for about 20 minutes after that omg all down hill haha.. 3 / 4 steep hills to walk back up on the way back, uneven steps to the first waterfall all down hill again, skipped 2 waterfalls as they were also down a steep hill, lovely straight walk to the last waterfall the one you can walk behind Absolutely spectacular view however very deep steps to get down, there all down hill again lol 😆 I don't know why I thought it would be easy.. My partner is ex army and even he struggled. Take lots of water, good pair of walking boots. I was a little saddened by the colour of the water or I would have went for a dip but it isn't swim safe. Lovely place however, but very very uneven slippery, steep. People taking babies and young children on there backs really scared me, the rocks are so uneven and slippery it isn't safe.read moreread less

littlemissc82 6/17/2024Beautiful but far from gentle walk! Stopped here on the way to our accommodation which was on the other side of Brecon and I’m so glad we did! This is a beautiful walk and well signposted. Hubby and I are reasonably fit but the steep up hills made us stop to catch breath but there are plenty of benches to rest on along the way. The terrain is mixed with mud, slippery, wet slate and stones. Would recommend walking shoes / boots but saw others in trainers. Strava measured the route as between 9 and 10km with an elevation of about 300m. It took us 3.5 hours which was a leisurely pace as we stopped a few times for drinks, snacks and to sip our toes in the water.
Parking was readily available (we arrived about 10am on a Monday), with clean portaloo toilets at the start of the walk. Carpark ticket was £5 and was card only.read moreread less

Relax37590414711 5/17/2024A picturesque walk A long, beautiful walk. Be warned that some of the accessibility to the actual waterfalls off the paths isn’t great, lots of slippery steep steps and rocky paths, however if taken slowly and with care they are achievable for most people. We took our 2 dogs and they absolutely loved playing in the water and there were lots of benches en route in the shade to stop and rest on hotter days. The paths are well cared for and maintained and we felt safe at all times. We typed in “Four waterfalls car park” intk Google maps, at the moment the road that maps trues to take you down is closed one way, however you just have to go back into the small village and around the other side, i assume this is to create a one way system to the car park as the surrounding roads are definitely single tracks with minimal passing points. Toilets at the car park are satisfactory, they are kept clean enough.read moreread less

Amanda M 4/18/2024Enjoyable walk to the falls Venturing to Henrhyd Falls on a heavily rainy day in early November proved to be a captivating experience. The rain lent an air of drama to the already lush surroundings as we traversed the muddy yet well-marked trail. Despite the slippery conditions underfoot, the sheer power of the waterfall was both mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. The spray created a magical atmosphere.
Our journey to the falls included crossing a wooden bridge and walking up steep steps to reach the footpath at the top, adding to the sense of adventure. However, the recent heavy rainfall had intensified the falls' strength, dissuading us from attempting to walk behind them for safety reasons. Despite this limitation, our time spent in the presence of such natural grandeur left an indelible mark on us.read moreread less

agnieszka biernat 4/02/2024Interesting walk from the carpark at Dina's Rocks. You can choose different paths that are highlighted on the map depending on the difficulty and time you have available. The first waterfall Sychryd isn't too far from the car park but there is quite a steep path up the hill. A 6 year old managed with some help. At the car park there are some picnic tables so it's nice to sit down after a climb and grab a bite. You can find some mining caves by the waterfall but they are not accessible to the public,one being private and the other fenced up. Amazing place.read moreread less
David Cunningham 4/02/2024A lovely waterfall to see, a bit of a hike on rocky, muddy, slippery terrain. The pool area of the waterfall is a climb down rocky steps holding onto tree roots and branches, if you do attempt it then the climb back up I found to be easier. Well worth the visit but wear appropriate footwearread moreread less
Luke Howse 3/30/2024One of my most favourite and beautiful places I've been to in the world. There's a large loop you can do that takes in a couple of valleys and their waterfalls. Parking: There's a couple of spots at the start. Then there's more on street parking nearby. Don't park in the pub car parks unless you intend to use them Restrooms: There's a public toilet at pontneddfechan Dog-friendliness: Dogs would absolutely love this walk if they love jumping in and out of water.read moreread less
Justine 3/30/2024If you come from the village end, the one you can get close to on trail is about a third of the way through; when you come to a bridge, turn left and follow the path down, then after seeing the waterfall you go back across the bridge and then continue going on whatever trail you were on. (Purple trail/Eldir you go over the second bridge and continue). There is a sign showing all the trails at the public toilet in the village just across the road before the gated entrance to the trail. We were on the trail in total over 3 hours, we weren't rushing at all and we stopped often to take in the sights etc. There are bridges and a few sets of steps on the route we went on. There are a few paths which are narrow but not too thin with a steep drop on one side. We brought our two dogs and they loved it too. If you have a dog please don't add to the abandoned bags of dog poop! We ended up bringing several out with us along with our own, don't get a dog if you can't be bothered to clean up after it.read moreread less

Bethan Landers 3/02/2024Some footpaths are closed because it's dangerous, but I walk on most of it anyway to get to the pretty waterfall. But you can see the section that's dangerous from said waterfall and that's the bit I don't go on. It's crumbling underneath. Rest is scrambly, but fun if you're an adventurous walkerread moreread less
Heidi May 2/29/2024Absolutely amazing walk around these gorgeous waterfalls. You can even walk behind the main waterfall, although it's quite a steep decent down to it. Also be careful crossing behind the waterfall as it can get busy and is slippy so tread carefully. But its well worth it. You definitely need a good pair of walking shoes with grip as it's not all level walking trails. There's toilets by most of the car parks but nothing during your walk. I would recommend for anyone, and for those adventurous little ones who enjoy being outdoors.read moreread less
Sharon Silvester Hughes 2/29/2024Absolutely worth the long walk! Awesome Dog-friendliness: There is a dog bin at the beginning of the trail and our dog had a wonderful adventure. There is also a dog friendly pub with good food the Angel.read moreread less

Joanna F 2/23/2024Saw Henryhn in full flow after lots of rain. Spectacular. Short walk from car park 10-15mins. Firm stoney path, flat to begin with but then descends down to a wooden bridge to cross the river to the wooden steps to climb back up the other side. Another stoney path and some stone steps take you to the side of the river. Unable to get too close or go behind today as waterfall was fierce after lots of rain. The trees looked amazing covered in the bright green bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts)read moreread less

Pete Jeffs 1/30/2024Walk of almost a mile to main attraction. Can get very wet and muddy so be prepared. Walking boots recommended as strep drops are common and you need extra grip. Landscape is very pretty in spring/summer but best described as rugged/dramatic in winter. Crossing the river allows exploration of the old mining sites and also allows paths to be followed upstream of Agony Need to view the equalling stunning falls of Pont Melin Fach. Also plenty of tracks to explore leading to the high ground. As always in this type of countryside care should be taken at all time but particularly in wet or icy weather Parking: Roadside and clearly marked. Very popular, do not be tempted to park in village, authorities are clamping down on illegal parking (justifiably). Could always park in the village pub as long as you use the pub as well. In high summer it is likely overflow parking will be available as well Fees: No fees or parking charges Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcomed but on leads .. other dogs and children on trails. Please please use doggy bags for their waste and dispose of it properly... why make any beautiful area less beautiful as a result of your willful inconsiderate inactions?read moreread less

Where is Waterfall Country?
Waterfall Country is the perfect name for the stunning cluster of waterfalls in the southwestern corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park, spilling into the Vale of Neath and the Swansea Valley. This hidden gem is one of South Wales' most popular natural attractions, with many of its waterfalls located in areas protected for their incredible biodiversity and geological features. Remember to leave only footprints behind as you explore this breathtaking region.
Brecon Beacons
This area is a waterfall lover's dream, with more public waterfalls than you can imagine. Though not officially defined, Waterfall Country typically refers to the falls along the Nedd Fechan, Pyrddin, Hepste, and Mellte rivers, nestled between the charming villages of Pontneddfechan and Ystradfellte. Don’t miss the famous Four Waterfalls Walk or the scenic Elidir Trail, both of which wind through this magical landscape.
Vale of Neath
Head southwest from Pontneddfechan, and you’ll discover the spectacular Melin Court Falls on Melin Court Brook, a tributary of the River Neath. A few miles further down the valley, you’ll find Aberdulias Falls on the River Dulais, with more waterfalls tucked away near Neath Abbey Ironworks on the Lower Clydach River.
Swansea Valley
Travel a bit further west, and you’ll stumble upon Henrhyd Falls, the tallest waterfall in South Wales and a star in "The Dark Knight Rises" as Batman’s Bat Cave. The lesser-known Nant Llech Trail follows the stream downstream, leading you to more hidden cascades. Don’t miss the stunning underground waterfalls at Dan yr Ogof, also known as The National Showcaves of Wales. And for more scenic beauty, check out the Upper Clydach River's falls at Cwm Du Glen, accessible from Pontardawe town center, or explore the hidden gems in Craig y Forest and Crynant Forest.
