Experience Overview:
From Cardiff: Hike The Amazing Six Brecon Beacons WaterfallsSee the six main waterfalls of the Brecon Beacons as well as some smaller falls and cascades, and admire the scenic valleys and the forest landscapes.
You will travel in a modern and luxurious fully electric vehicle, limited to a maximum of seven passengers, in the company of your driver guide, Andy, who is a Mountain Leader and a Green Badged Tourist Guide.
Meet your guide at National Museum Cardiff. Then it's off to Pontneddfechan and the start of our hike. We will visit each waterfall as you learn about the local area from your guide. You'll gain 400m of height on the 15km hike which is often over rough, muddy and broken ground. For our hiking troubles, we get amazing scenic views of the park and wonderful memories of sparkling waterfalls.
Immerse yourself in the landscape as you get the chance to walk behind some of the waterfalls. Perhaps you will take an invigorating swim in the final pool to finish off the tour!
