08:15 CANCELLED The Many Waterfalls Walk (Brecon Waterfall Country) (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sat 20 September 2025
Event Time: 08:15

This walk is in the past.

Really sorry, this walk has been cancelled due to a weather warning for heavy rain most of the day. Will hopes to reschdule at a date to be confirmed.

This is a 2-boot hike through the stunning waterfall country of the West Brecon Beacons. Meet at the Down’s Water tower at 08.15 to organise car shares, before driving 1.5 hours into Bannau Brycheiniog national park. This hike includes the 'four waterfalls walk' alongside many others.

The walk is 10.6 miles/17 km with 551m ascent. It starts with a gentle stroll through leafy woodland along 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. We also get to walk behind one of the waterfalls as part of the route. The walk itself will take approximately 5-6 hours, but with lots of stops I estimate 7-8 hours plus driving time.

Please bring appropriate clothing for all conditions, including sunscreen, waterproofs, walking boots and plenty of food and water, plus swimming stuff if you want to. Optional pub to finish and an ice-cream shop also hopefully open during the walk (cash only). There are no toilets on the walk, although there is a shop near the start with toilets that can be used by customers. Note, Dinas Rock car park closes at 5pm and we could be back after this. However, I have never had any issues staying later. If you are concerned, I suggest parking on Dinas Road instead (in the non-reserved areas).

Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there. 

If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
