Barren beautiful and bloody hard walk, but worth it, been 30 plus years since last time i went there, good boots required or you'll break an ankle, steep slopes man made made things easier, just, prepare properly for it as weather can turn on a penny. From good to poor.

I live not far, so lucky truly feel blessed the countryside of south wales is absolutely like no other! Diverse in bio diversity in nature to the mixed cultures to boot. Always amazing to get up top. That said, of late alot of chatter about entitled visitors and extreme disrespect to mountain rescue. Enough said. T Davies south Wales.

Absolutely wonderful views, but for those who dare. Be prepared for a very long walk(around 6 miles for all 4 waterfalls), hikes, and climbing dangerous paths on mountains. Need a complete day of summer from dawn to dusk to completely enjoy it.
