Waterfalls

About Waterfalls

Nowhere else in Wales can you find so many spectacular waterfalls in such a small area. Water is inseperable from the Welsh Landscape whether flowing in a river or babbling in a brook. Here the rivers Mellte, Hepste and Neddfechan have worn away soft rocks to create steep wooded gorges full of caves and the famous waterfalls.

How to get there:

Waterfalls is part of Brecon Beacons National Park Forests. Pontneddfechan is the nearest town or village.

Follow signs to Pontneddfechan/Waterfalls from A465 (heads of valley road), By bus (Weekends & Bank Holidays) Take the Beacons Bus B3 (9am) from Bridgend to Penderyn

Dippers - (small birds that walk underwater) are invariably seen on these rivers. The birds are not easy to spot being small and dark, however they do have a distinctive white breast.
