Join a local Brecon Beacons guided hike of the waterfalls in Brecon Beacons National Park. See the six main waterfalls, as well as some smaller falls and cascades, and admire the scenic valleys and the forest landscapes.

Your guided hiking tour group 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. He is a Mountain Leader and a Green Badged Tourist Guide, and has also been chair of Brecon Beacons Tourism and a Brecon Beacons National Park Warden.

Brecon Beacons Tour Starting From Cardiff or Merthyr

Meet your guide at the National Museum in Cardiff on the front steps, then it's off to Pontneddfechan and the start of our hike. We will hike to and visit each of the Brecon Beacons waterfalls 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. We strongly recommend sturdy hiking boots or shoes on this day-long hike.

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!

With the Brecon Beacons waterfalls area being popular, its paths can become very crowded indeed. However, the path we will take for most of the day only ever has a handful of walkers, and midweek we'll have much of the guided hike to ourselves!

We have been delivering walks at this location for over thirty years. Our knowledge of the area, its industrial heritage and its natural environments will be ours to share with you as you take in the best valley walks in Brecon Beacons National Park!
