    One of the brilliant waterfalls you can run past on the classic Ystradfellte Waterfall loop. It's a popular place but still well worth a stop during a run. If you run here in bad weather, the waterfalls are bigger and the trails are loads quieter.

      A stunning highlight in the south of Brecon Beacons. Easily accessible with small family although be careful down the steps to get there. Can be slippery at all times of year due to proximity to the waterfall.
