This is our mountain and it's a gateway into the eastern Black Mountains. You definitely don't need to drive anywhere to walk somewhere beautiful! You could just spend all your time here with us!

Most definitely worth a visit; this is our closest waterfall walk (about ten minutes drive away). You'll find it on phone mapping and you can actually walk to it if you have an OS map and you're up for a 5/6 hour round trip walk. Otherwise, there is a little parking area, or you can walk up to it from Talgarth.

Absolutely stunning walk where you can go behind the final waterfall. But take care - this is a challenging walk and needs care when the weather is wet!
