Sgwd Gwladys, also known as “Lady’s Falls,” is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons’ renowned Waterfall Country. Nestled along the Afon Pyrddin river, this 30-foot cascade is named after a legendary Welsh princess and is easily accessible via a scenic woodland walk. The waterfall gracefully spills over a natural rock ledge into a shallow plunge pool, making it a popular spot for visitors to admire its beauty or even dip their toes in the water.

The Four Waterfalls Walk near Neath is one of the most scenic and rewarding hikes in Waterfall Country, located in the Brecon Beacons National Park. This circular trail takes you through lush woodlands, steep gorges, and along the banks of the River Mellte, leading to four stunning waterfalls: Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn, Sgwd y Pannwr, and Sgwd yr Eira. Each waterfall has its own unique charm, with Sgwd yr Eira being the most famous, as you can walk behind its powerful cascade. The route, though moderately challenging with some steep and uneven sections, is well worth the effort, offering breath-taking views and the chance to experience the raw beauty of Wales’ waterfall-rich landscape.

Tucked away in the Sychryd Gorge lies a small, secluded waterfall, gracefully crossed by a wooden footbridge.

While it may not be the largest or most dramatic waterfall in Brecon Beacons’ “Waterfall Country,” its hidden charm, fairytale-like surroundings, and peaceful solitude make it a perfect escape for those looking to avoid the crowds.

Sgwd y Pannwr is a beautiful, wide-flowing waterfall along the Afon Mellte, found on the Four Waterfalls Walk in the Brecon Beacons. Its name reflects its historic use in the wool trade, where cloth was cleaned and softened in the fast-moving waters. Surrounded by lush woodland and mossy rocks, it offers a peaceful spot for rest and reflection, away from the more crowded falls nearby.
