Waterfalls in Brecon Beacons


My husband has mentioned before that when the sun comes out, the UK is a really pretty place, and there is no need to fly elsewhere in Europe for the weather. I totally agree with him. Since the weather was nice again here, it was time to travel around the country.
This time, we went to Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales, which is not far from our home. The area of the entire park is about 1,344km2. After reading the National Park website, I decided to find some waterfalls near Pontneddfechan village in order to have a pleasant walk but also enjoy the cooling effect of the water spray.
There are several waterfalls in the village. However, the outstanding one is Sgwd yr Eira (meaning: Waterfall of the Snow, pictures below). Not only is the largest one in the area, but also you can walk behind the waterfall to feel the power of the falls without getting too wet.
