Hiking
A beautiful waterfall often overlooked by the masses as they head for more famous waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons. But you know better!
Be aware that in places the footpath is narrow, uneven and very steep. You will need to take extra care in the wet / after prolonged rain.

Mountain biking
Great waterfall and worth the trip, however it is not traversable by MTB down to it, lock your bike to the trees at the top. Also the path at the top of the waterfall this app shows also isnt a path at all, it literally ends and it took over an hour to carry and push the bikes up to the fire road through bogs, logs, heather and mountain grass.... so you need to double back and save yourself the pain!
