Full route description - https://www.welshmanwalking.co.uk/4-w...

Try this 8.5-km circular trail near Ystradfellte, Powys. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 34 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and walking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.

Just south of Ystradfellte in the southern Brecon Beacons there is a patch of woodland, much of it a coniferous plantation. To the western edge, deciduous trees take hold, while, deep below, the rivers Mellte and Hepste can be heard roaring over a series of impressive waterfalls.

There are several walks through Waterfall Country, including the 5.5-mile Four Waterfalls Walk.

A waymarked trail from the Gwaun Hepste car park offers walkers the chance to see these waterfalls up close. The car park is payable by card only and is host to a small caravan serving snacks and hot drinks at weekends in the low season.

Walkers should be aware that the descents to the waterfalls from the main trail are quite challenging.
