The Blaen-y-Glyn Waterfall trail.
This Walk is a spectacular adventure in Brecon Beacons National Park that will take you through a serene forest with a seemingly endless amount of waterfalls. While out on the trail, you will climb uphill along the forested banks of Caerfanell to view the falls, before looping around the hillside on the return. Walkers should take note that this route is a bit seasonal, as the river is tricky to cross when water levels are high in the spring/autumn.
