The Brecon Beacons Amazing Six Waterfalls

Details

This is the first of our late availability listings. We occasionally have bookings through other channels for hikes with low attendance. When this occurs, we'll share those hikes with this Meetup group in order to make the day enjoyable, as 'social' is what we are all about. At the time of writing, we have four booked onto this hike, and we are limiting tickets available to this Wales Outdoors Social group to four spots.

Join a local guide on a simply amazing small group tour of this circular hiking route in the Waterfalls area of the Brecon Beacons National Park. See the six main waterfalls of the national park as well as some smaller falls and cascades, and admire the scenic valleys and the forest landscapes.

Meet your guide in a fine bistro cafe in the village of Pontneddfechan. Perhaps you will choose to have breakfast here? We will then visit each waterfall as you learn about the local area from your guide. You'll gain 400m of height on the 15km hike, which is often over rough, muddy and broken ground. For our hiking troubles, we get amazing scenic views of the park and wonderful memories of sparkling waterfalls.

Immerse yourself in the landscape as you get the chance to walk behind some of the waterfalls. Perhaps you will take an invigorating swim in the final pool to finish off the tour!

With the waterfalls area being popular, its paths can become very crowded indeed. However, the path we will take for most of the day only ever has a handful of walkers, and midweek we'll have much of the hike to ourselves!

The hike will be delivered by a fully qualified mountain leader who will know a great deal about both the waterfalls area and the Brecon Beacons National Park, and of course the mountains of Wales in general. They will describe what you are seeing and tell you a few tall tales along the way...

We have been delivering walks at this location for over thirty years, and our knowledge of the area, its industrial heritage and its natural environments will be ours to share with you as you take in the best valley walks in Brecon Beacons National Park!

During the months of May to September, there is a cafe halfway round, but do not depend on this for sustenance unless advised by us to do so. It's a pop-up and so is often closed due to weather conditions, so we always advise taking a good packed lunch along with a flask of something warm.

Know before you go

  • We may be able to provide transport from Cardiff or some other South Wales locations. Please enquire about options and costs
  • This tour will take place rain or shine
  • You will climb 400m, but this is gently done
  • Andy may bring his dog with him. If this is an issue for you, please let us know
  • Although most levels of fitness can be accommodated, please be sensible when booking and know your own ability

Please Note
A good level of fitness is required for all of our mountain walks. If walking with us, please know that the weather can change, and at times we do need to keep moving, especially in winter, to remain warm and safe.
