Excellent details on the walk. Just shocked to see a sea of human amidst Covid pandemic. Regretting choice of date.

Wonderful Wales countryside, excellent signposts all around. Four unique waterfalls. Did it with my 11 year old who enjoyed it immensely. We chose the green path( closer to the river) from Cwm Porth and found it more challenging but interesting and scenic. Red path is for easy walking( boring😬)

Starting point in Tawe-Uchaf - Powys We're now well into the Brecon Beacons Way and this route begins with a walk through the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu National Nature Reserve, designated to protect its limestone pavements, associated flora and caves beneath. Then it heads north to climb up to Fan Llia and follow the crags over to Storey Arms. It then takes the Taff Trail to YHA Brecon Beacons.

Starting point in Glyn Tarell - Powys The route continues on the west-to-east Brecon Beacons Way, now over halfway to its final destination at Abergavenny Station. This is possibly the most strenuous day's walking as there are a number of climbs, starting with Corn Du and Pen y Fan. However, on a clear day, the views are spectacular.

Starting point in Llanddeusant - Carmarthenshire This is a brilliant linear trail in the Brecon Beacons National Park, incorporating many good viewpoints and one extra-special one. It begins in Carmarthenshire near the village of Llandeusant and ends in Powys in the Glyntawe valley, crossing a mountain ridge that beats Pen-y-Fan in my view, but because it's less accessible is less well-known.
