Ystradfellte Waterfalls, Near Brecon

This is a walk we haven't done before. Again it was a walk from a book with no post code for the start - so simple these days but rare a walk has it. We got a little lost but got to the car park where I was robbed of £4 to park the car.

It was only a four mile walk taking in four waterfalls but it was quite demanding in places due to the amount of rocks and climbs.

The blip picture is one everyone takes, looking out from behind the waterfall. You haven't got much time as the spray fogs up the lens but it is quite an enjoyable experience. The pic is straight out of camera.

A brief summary of the area:

Ystradfellte is chiefly known in Welsh history for being the spot where the Welsh nobleman and rebel leader Llywelyn Bren surrendered at the conclusion of his revolt of 1316. Llywelyn, who gave himself up on the condition that his men be spared, was put to death in 1318 at Cardiff.
