The Highs and Lows

The Four Waterfall walk is a trail that encompasses four beautiful waterfalls, in an area of the Brecon Beacons known as the Waterfall County

Whilst the circular loop itself is only 5 miles, we recommend planning a good few hours to explore and marvel at each waterfall. Whilst there are many beautiful waterfalls in Wales, this stunning trail has more waterfalls per square mile than anywhere else in the UK.

Don’t forget to take waterproofs, on the final waterfall, the path leads you behind the waterfall (you will get splashed, but that’s part of the fun!).

We really can’t recommend this trail enough, let us know what you think!
