Waterfall Country

A stunning waterfall walk in the Brecon Beacons

Length: 11.5 miles

Route: Cwm Porth Car Park - Pont Melin-fach - Pontneddfechan - Craig y Ddinas - Sgwd yr Eira - Sgwd Isaf Clun-gwyn - Cwm Porth Car Park

Weather: Glorious

Although there is no real high ground on this walk, this is one of the toughest walks I have done so far. The ground is nearly all loose rocks and tree trunks, and requires some scrambling if you want to get up close and personal to the falls, and get the best viewpoint to take pictures.



A pleasant start through woodland

The bluebells are out

First waterfall of the day, Sgwd Clun-gwyn


Sgwd Gwladus



Higher up now, and a look down the valley

Odd looking tree

The stunning Sgwd yr Eira (Fall of Snow)

The beauty of this waterfall is that the pathway actually passes behind it

Back behind one more time

A snake in my path, turns out it's not a snake after looking on the internet but a  slow worm, which is a limbless reptile.
