    Tips

    Porth Yr Ogof (gateway to the cave, in Welsh) boasts the largest entrance of any cave in Wales at over 55 feet (17 m) wide and almost 16 feet (5 me) tall. The cave is managed by the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority and is adjoined by a visitor centre and a pay and display car park, which is a handy place to park to explore the waterfalls.

      As well as the caves, here you have Porth yr Ogof car park, or Cwm Porth car park, to give it its proper name. It's one of the better car parks, with toilets and a small shop. On most days there is also hot food and drinks available. The famous Four Waterfalls walk also starts from here. This is a spectacular walk, and each waterfall is great in its own way. They are Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd y Pannwr, and Sgwd yr Eira.
