Come and explore the Waterfall Country at the heart of the Brecon Beacons. Nestled into the southern slopes of the Fforest Fawr Massif, west of Merthyr Tydfil, Waterfall Country is one of the most beautiful and popular parts of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Fforest Fawr Geopark, with steep, tree-lined gorges and an abundance of tumbling water.

Known in Welsh as Coed-y-Rhaeadr (Wood of the Water), Waterfall Country lies within the triangle formed by the villages of Hirwaun, Ystradfellte, and Pontneddfechan, where old red sandstone and a long belt of outcrop limestone have created a highly distinctive environment of wooded gorges, caves, swallow holes and waterfalls.

Our campsite for the weekend is situated on the hillside above the Afon Hepste and very close to the spectacular four best known Ystradfellte waterfalls of,  Sgwd Clun-Gwyn (Falls of the White Meadow), Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn (Lower White Meadow falls), Sgwd y Pannwr (Falls of the Woolen Washer) and the iconic Sgwd Yr Eira (Falls of Snow) where you traverse the naturally carved path behind the thunderous curtain of water.

On the Saturday I will be leading a 16km waterfalls walk from the campsite, taking in not only these spectacular four waterfalls, but also an additional four named waterfalls, as well as numerous cascades along the route.

If you don’t fancy joining us for our walk and/or want to do your own thing, there is always the option to just relax at our campsite with views overlooking the scenic Welsh countryside, or perhaps drive to one of the local attractions such as  Penderyn Distillery visitor centre (15 mins), Mountain Biking at Bike Park Wales (35 mins) or the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 mins).   

Dogs: Dogs are welcome on the campsite but you will be expected to be considerate of other campers and clear up behind them.  There may be sheep in adjacent fields so please take this into account if you are thinking of bringing your dog, which will need to be under control at all times when on the site.

Campervans, Motorhomes : Whilst this event is primarily a camping event, it should be possible to cater for these, but please be aware that the surrounding roads are not ideal for wider/longer vehicles.  Please message the leader to discuss.
