Why You Must Visit The Brecon Beacons, The Four Waterfalls Trail - Places To See In Wales Ep 3
Waterfall country in the beautifully rugged landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales. Here’s another ‘can’t miss’ destination when you visit Wales, the Four Waterfalls trail near the village of Ystradfellte, Aberdare.
Chasing waterfalls - starting from the car park (£4) - look for either Cwm Porth car park or Four Falls Waterfall Hike Car Park 2 the trail takes you past 4 beautiful waterfalls and also an entrance to cave.
I incorrectly thought the trail was about 3 to 4 miles but it is actually 5.5 miles and even a bit longer if you explore the banks alongside the #waterfalls.
The trail leads to Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd y Pannwr and Sgwd-yr-Eira on the River Mellte in the heart of waterfall country. I started at the waterfall which is furthest away, Sgwd-yr-Eira and worked backwards.
The four waterfalls:
1:50 Sgwd-yr-Eira
2:43 Sgwd y Pannwr
3:16 Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn
4:50 Sgwd Clun-Gwyn
As you can see the Welsh word for waterfall is sgwd.
The area is also popular with cavers, the car park is above the entrance to the Porth yr Ogof cave system where the Afon Mellte enter Wales's largest cave entrance.
This is episode 3 of our series Places To See In Wales where we explore a range of places from the well known to the unusual, but all worth a trip when you #VisitWales

Brecon Mountain Rescue Helicopter Landing - Four Waterfalls Walk, Ystradfellte
Four Waterfalls Walk in Ystradfellte, Brecon on August bank holiday Monday (27th) and whilst I and the family were nearing the end of the walk, I happened to capture this video on the GoPro of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Helicopter landing and dropping off one of their crew members. Since learnt this was for an emergency rescue of a lady walker who'd been injured in a fall.
Awesome to watch at close range and got to admire the skills of the team involved.

This is a specatacular walk visiting four beautiful waterfalls near Ystradfellte in the Brecon Beacons. It is one of the best waterfall walks in Britain with delightful woodland gorges, riverside trails along the Afon Mellte and a series of roaring waterfalls.
The trail starts at the Gwaun Hepste car park just south east of Ystradfellte. It's a good sized parking area which also includes a picnic area. From here you can pick up the trails to the Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd y Pannwr and Sgwd-yr-Eira waterfalls. Sgwd Isaf Clun-gwyn is a particularly impressive and powerful waterfall which will take your breath away. Sgwd yr Eira, is also noteworthy as probably the most photographed waterfall in the Brecon Beacons. You can actually walk behind the curtain of thundering water which is a great experiemce. There are also many other smaller waterfalls dotted around this area known as Waterfall Country.
There are some challenging sections on the walk but the footpaths are well surfaced and maintained.

Four Waterfalls Walk
The Four Waterfalls is a famous walk near the hamlet of Ystradfellte in the Brecon Beacons. Wales.
The walk takes 90 minutes and is strenuous in places especially getting down to the far waterfall (worst still climbing back up)
By drone its an easy four minutes and the views are excellent.

Walking around the Ystradfellte Waterfalls
Superb hidden Welsh secret ...the waterfalls in Ystradfellte are stunning in the winter, but in the summer when the weather is hot, they are idyllic to chill out with a picnic. Plenty of water in them due to the recent rain as well....
4 Waterfalls Walk - Mar '17
My son Rhys and I took on the 6 mile 4 waterfalls circular walk a couple of weekends ago. We had a great time, although we were both broken by the end of it!
Wanderung: Four Waterfalls Path - Wales
Am 2. Tag unserer Reise nach Irland starten wir zunächst von Stonehenge nach Südwales um bei einer Wanderung einige der imposantesten Wasserfälle auf dem Four Waterfalls Walk zu entdecken.
Der Wanderweg im Brecon Beacons National Park beginnt am Cwm Porth Parkplatz, wo der Fluss Melte in der größten Höhle von Wales verschwindet. Sie ist besonders beliebt bei Höhlenforschern.
Da wir im Anschluß noch einige Stunden weiter bis nach Nordwales in unsere nächste Unterkunft fahren mussten, hatten wir ein recht kleines Zeitfenster für diese Tour. Angegeben wird diese 4 Wasserfall-Wanderung mit 3-4 Stunden, wir legten also einen schnelleren Wandergang ein, und liefen den Weg incl. Fotografieren und Filmen in unter 2,5 Std.
Vom Parkplatz laufen wir noch an Höhleneingängen vorbei und folgen dann dem munter sprudelnden Bach. Kurze Zeit später erreichen wir Sgwd Clun-Gwyn Waterfall, den man jedoch nur von oben betrachten kann.
Gleich ab da starten wir durch Zum Endpunkt der Tour weiter bachabwärts hoch über selbigem. Jede Menge Treppen führen hinab zu einem tiefer gelegenen Seitenbach der in den Hauptbach einmündet. Hier sehen wir den Sgwd yr Eira Waterfall. Man kann sogar hinterem Wasserfall hinter der Wasserwand vorbeilaufen.
Hier zurückgehend stoßen wir auf einen Wegweiser der zum Hauptbach hinabführt. Sumpfige Stellen werden auf mehreren Holzplankenstegen überquert und schließlich gelangen wir an den Wasserfall: Fall of the Fuller und unten wieder ein Stück bachauf gehenden den mehrstufigen Lower Fall of the whide Meadow
Wir steigen wieder auf und kehren zum Ausgangspunt zurück!
Fazit: Eine sehr schöne Wanderung!
Die Tour ist laut Beschreibung 7,7 Kilometer lang bei knapp 300 Meter Aufstieg.
In direkter Nachbarschaft (4 Meilen-Radius) gibt es insgesamt 15 Wasserfälle, darunter einen weiteren den man Hinter-Queren kann. Alternativ bietet sich auch ein Weg zu 7 Wasserfällen an mit 17,9 Kilometer Wegstrecke den Waterfalls Brecon beacons.
