This walk is in the past.
This is a fairly straightforward 2-boot hike through the stunning waterfall country of the West Brecon Beacons. Meet at the Down’s Water tower at 08.00 to organise car shares, before driving 1.5 hours into Bannau Brycheiniog national park.
The walk is 11.8 miles/19 km with 656m ascent. It starts with a gentle walk through leafy woodland alongside the river, before we start meeting a series of incredible waterfalls. Plenty of opportunity for photography, as well as swimming for those who want to. One of the waterfalls also has space to walk behind as part of the route. The walk itself will take approximately 6 hours, but with lots of stops I estimate 7-8 hours. I believe this route encompasses 8 major waterfalls in the area, but I lost count when doing it, so don't hold me to this exact number!
Please bring appropriate clothing for all conditions, including sunscreen, waterproofs, walking boots and plenty of food and water. Optional pub to finish and ice-cream shop also hopefully open during the walk.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
