Gwaun Hepste Car Park

About Gwaun Hepste Car Park

Gateway to the Four Falls Trail

Close to Ystradfellte, Powys this large car park is one of the main access points to the waterfalls. A pay and display meter has been installed, which helps pay for a roving car park attendant.

From this car park you can try the famous Four Falls Trail, taking in the waterfalls of Sgwd yr Eira and Clun-Gwyn. Follow the numbered red waymarker posts, with green waymarked spurs down to the falls.

Take care in waterside areas as the rivers can be dangerous. Water is often cold deep and fast flowing. The ground near waterfalls is also steep rough and slippery. Keep to footpaths to prevent unnecessary erosion.

Gwaun Hepste Car Park is in Waterfalls which is part of Brecon Beacons National Park Forests.
Head North from Penderyn on the A 4059. After 2 km turn left towards Ystradfellte. Follow the signs for Waterfalls.
