Tips

Henrhyd Falls is the highest waterfall in South Wales and is a breathtaking sight to behold. The stunning waterfall plunges 90 feet (27 m) into a wooded gorge. It is possible to walk behind the waterfall but take care as the rocks can be slippery.

Graig Llech Wood surrounds the waterfall and is home to much wildlife. Keep a lookout for birds such as woodpeckers, tree creepers, warblers and wrens. The damp and heavily wooded gorge is also a haven for mosses, liverworts and lichen. For this reason, it is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area is managed by the National Trust.

It takes about 10 minutes to reach the waterfall from the car park. There is also a trail along the valley that takes about one hour which passes several other waterfalls.
