Embark on the Ystradfellte Four Waterfalls Walk from Cwm Porth, an easy 4.5-mile (7.3 km) hike through the Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons National Park. This route, which takes around 1 hour and 59 minutes to complete, guides you through ancient woodlands, rolling fields, and serene riverside paths, offering 394 feet (120 metres) of elevation gain. You will discover four impressive waterfalls, including the iconic Sgwd yr Eira, where you can walk behind the curtain of water. Expect diverse terrain with some muddy and rocky sections, especially near the waterfalls, which add to the adventure.
To begin your journey, head to the Cwm Porth car park, a popular starting point that often provides facilities like toilets. It is wise to arrive early, particularly during peak seasons, as parking spaces can fill up quickly. While the overall trail is rated easy, be prepared for some steep descents and ascents on uneven steps when approaching the waterfalls directly. Sturdy, grippy walking boots are highly recommended for navigating these sections safely, especially after rain.
This trail is a highlight of "Waterfall Country," an area known for having one of the highest concentrations of waterfalls in Wales. Beyond the four main cascades, you will encounter lush woodlands, hidden plunge pools, and smaller cascades, creating a tranquil atmosphere. For the adventurous, there are opportunities for wild swimming in some of the plunge pools along the route, adding a unique element to your hiking experience.

Embark on the Ystradfellte Four Waterfalls main route from Gwaun Hepste, a moderate hike spanning 4.9 miles (8.0 km) with an elevation gain of 611 feet (186 metres), typically taking 2 hours and 16 minutes to complete. This circular trail immerses you in picturesque woodlands and ancient oak forests, following the banks of rivers like the Mellte and Hepste. While the main path is generally wide and stone-surfaced, the optional descents to the waterfalls are considerably more challenging, involving steep steps and potentially slippery, muddy terrain. You will discover a serene riverside setting with moss-covered rocks, leading to the highlight of Sgwd yr Eira, where you can walk directly behind the curtain of falling water.
Planning your visit requires good fitness and sure-footedness, especially if you intend to explore the paths leading directly to the waterfalls. These sections feature narrow, unsurfaced, and steep descents, numerous steps, and loose ground, sometimes requiring rock scrambling. Be aware that the humidity in the gorge can make paths persistently muddy and extremely slippery, particularly after rain, with limestone rocks near the water becoming slick. Proper walking boots are essential for navigating this varied and sometimes demanding terrain, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience.
This route is renowned for its four spectacular waterfalls: Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd y Pannwr, and the famous Sgwd yr Eira. Each waterfall offers a distinct perspective and awe-inspiring cascades, showcasing the wild character of Waterfall Country within the Brecon Beacons National Park, now known as Bannau Brycheiniog. The descent to Sgwd yr Eira, involving around 170 steep steps, is particularly taxing but offers a truly unique and memorable experience, making the effort well worthwhile for its natural beauty.
