Day Hike: The Brecon Beacons Amazing Six Waterfalls

Waterfalls! Waterfalls! Waterfalls! Yes, it's all about the... Waterfalls!

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 eight 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, hike to, and 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. See the waterfalls hike itinerary.

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.
