Henrhyd Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Henrhyd Falls is the highest waterfall in South Wales and is a breathtaking sight to behold. The stunning waterfall plunges 90 feet (27 m) into a wooded gorge. It is possible to walk behind the waterfall but take care as the rocks can be slippery.

Graig Llech Wood surrounds the waterfall and is home to much wildlife. Keep a lookout for birds such as woodpeckers, tree creepers, warblers and wrens. The damp and heavily wooded gorge is also a haven for mosses, liverworts and lichen. For this reason, it is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area is managed by the National Trust.

Kai Fischer
July 27, 2023, Von Henrhyd Falls nach Henrhyd Falls, Pen y Cae

Today we were at Henrhyd Falls in Brecon Beacon National Park in South Wales. There was again a large waterfall that you could walk behind. It didn't rain on the tour, but I was soaking wet after the waterfall. My Samsung phone held out bravely! My Ortlieb backpack is waterproof. By the way, the water is so brown because it comes from the high moors in the mountains and has rained a lot in the last few weeks.
