About this experience

We have been delivering canyoning and group walks at this location for over ten years. We have a deep knowledge of the area, its heritage, and its natural environments and we will share this with you as you take in the best valley walks in Brecon Beacons National Park! The waterfalls are absolutely stunning, regularly covered by TikTok influencers of late, so we want to share them with you!

Waterfall Country is located on the south-westerly edge of the Breacon Beacons, this area is amongst the most beautiful and popular parts of the National Park. The rivers Mellte, Hepste, Pyrddin and Nedd-fechan wind their way down deep, tree-lined gorges, over a series of dramatic waterfalls, before joining to form the River Neath.
This area is of international importance and it has been designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
