Blaen-y-Glyn Waterfalls

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls are a number of beautiful cascades where the Nant Bwrefwr and the infant Afon Caerfanell spill from the eastern end of the Central Beacons massif. Although beautiful, the gradients here are steep, so exploring the tumbling streams can be strenuous.
