Easy to find the car park, there are toilets but not clean. The car park costs £5 for a day. The place is really Beautiful, just make sure to wear good walking shoes. There aren’t cafe and restaurants in the place, so make sure you bring your own food.

Well run and great launching point for the Four Waterfalls.

Arrive kind of early (at least on weekends and holidays). We arrived by 9am at the Four Waterfalls Car Park and there were only about 7-10 cars. There is a building where you pay for parking (5 pounds contactless) that has a park ranger/warden, maps, light snacks, etc). The park ranger was vey nice and helpful.

There are also toilets at this parking area. I read one review that the toilets are bad but I thought they were fine. I’ve seen much worse. They were clean, had toilet paper and a clean place to wash your hands.

Once we arrived back from our hike at 11:30 it was packed. There were cars and people everywhere. There was another person directing traffic to help people out.

Beautiful walk to stunning waterfalls. Get there early to ensure a place though! The walk is easy going but getting to the waterfalls themselves can be steep and tricky; not suitable for those unsteady on their feet or very young children. Staff at the site are very helpful and friendly.

The parking lot is not large so arriving early is highly recommended.

£5.00 for all day parking; the good thing is that the money goes back into maintaining the trails and parking lot.

There are a number of toilets and the trail head has a little shop for your hiking needs.

If you like to see geologic structures then hiking in this part of the Beacons is a must.

The trails and waterfalls are a must see in the Brecon Beacons!

A great walk with plenty to see with a great selection of falls, river views and dipping spots. A good choice of a rugged walk or a safer, flatter walk or a mixture of both. It can get very busy here so I would pick your time carefully if you'd rather not be with the crowds.

Such a beautiful part of Wales, you have to come here! There are long and short walks from the car park so there is something for everyone. Definitely worth for 6 hours walk .

Definitely worth a visit. A fantastic circular walk with stunning waterfalls. Need reasonable mobility and fitness and sturdy footwear or trainers. It can be slippy up and down steps. A great day out, so definitely take a picnic (and a towel if you're feeling brave).

Beautiful walk exploring all 4 waterfalls. It took us about 4 hours going up and down all the stairs and climbing up and down to get close to the waterfalls. There was one that you could walk underneath- that was amazing! Absolutely stunning scenery and beautiful waterfalls.
Some people swim and jump into the water.
There is a trail that you could go with a pushchair or wheelchair but wouldn't be able to access waterfalls as quite steep and out the way from the path itself. Some dogs were there but would be quite a way for the dogs!
Lovely scenic drive to the car park, very narrow. One way in and one way out.
Parking is £5 - card only. Little building with maps and information booklets to see the walks and trails to go on. Cold drinks and snacks available.
Definitely recommend
