The Blaen Taf Fawr and Afon Tarell segments start at the Storey Arms parking area. Head through the gate towards Corn Du, to the Taf Fawr bridge. Ignore the path and head upstream to a small gorge, with the waterfall at its head. Return to the parking area, and head northwest towards the Storey Arms. A track starts below it, heading down the right side of the valley. It soon passes over a stream. Head upstream to see the waterfalls on the Afon Tarell.

Excellent hike with fantastic views once you reach the top. I hiked there with my brother Keith on the longest day of the year, June 21st 2023. Once your at the top, the views are incredible and it also has some shear drops from the edges. I wouldn't recommend taking children as it is a very hard climb even with adults, and on this day I witnessed several struggling with the climb. I'm 64 and quite fit and found it more hard than easy. On the way back we stopped at the Aberglais Inn which had excellent food and drink with lovely hosts. I was blown away with there Ale & Steak Pie-delicious. Also done 50 lengths swimming that morning before the hike, and hope to do many more. Love to everyone 💕
