This is a beautiful riverside parking area with good access to a range of walks and a popular camping spot, though this is not encouraged. It is also a great place to start and finish the Pen y Fan Horshoe, which is a classic. In addition, it is a good rest spot, with grassy verges and riverside picnic spots. There is also a picnic bench here. However, be wary of going off the path downstream on both sides of the river. In my forty years of living and hiking in this national park, this is the most soiled area, with human waste, by a considerable margin. Apart from that, it is a gorgeous location.
