The Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls are a number of beautiful cascades where the Nant Bwrefwr and the infant Afon Caerfanell spill from the eastern end of the Central Beacons massif. Although beautiful, the gradients here are steep, so exploring the tumbling streams can be strenuous.

Hiking

This is a beautiful location, and it has a good trail that parallels Nant Bwrefwr all the way to the tree line. Go up further, and you come to Craig y Fan Ddu, where it is then pretty flat and level all the way around to the crashed Wellington bomber war memorial site.
