Ffrwd Fawr Waterfall is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales, United Kingdom. This picturesque waterfall drops 30 feet down a rocky slope, creating a misty veil that rises into the air. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and moss-covered stones, adding to its serene and tranquil atmosphere. The gentle roar of the waterfall and the sound of birds chirping in the nearby woods create a soothing melody that immerses visitors in nature's splendor.
We were four fit 18 year old boys, and it was a punishing descent. One of our party bum-slid five or ten metres down the 'path', and another achieved a panic attack when grasping for his life on a flimsy little root. In fairness, it was very wet (made wetter by George's tears) and so more dangerous but one of the other reviews mentioned that it was a popular suicide spot and we can see why. A lot of the way was climbing rather than walking, and crying rather than having fun. A few of us were cut by rocks/thorns on the way. Lovely waterfall at the bottom, but tricky to access the higher plunge pool due to slippery rocks. Good wheelchair access.
We left the car on the left and went down the river, returning from the river on the right along the path up. the river and waterfall turned out to be very warm.
Stunning view, adventurous walk down and unbelievably hard walk up. Will not recommend to get fully down to river on your own- totally unsafe and can end not well. Not too bad path until view point on field which is good enough, if we knew that wouldn't go more down looks like water level can be way different due to season and rain. Not possible to reach river if it's wet. But we rich the bottom with 9 and 11 years old kids, and French bulldog. Was really hard but we survived 28/05/23
A Stunning waterfall. There's actually more than one. The second can only be viewed by a drone. To get to the main one I parked up at the Dylife look out point and then headed down the left of the view down the steep hill. Had to use my tripod to pull myself back up due it being so slippy from the mud and how steep it is
Impressive waterfall. Right next to the road. Difficult scramble down the side of the hill to get a decent view.
Stunning waterfall and amazing valley, views from the parking at the top are one of the best in Cambrian Mountains. Getting down to the waterfall is quite challenging and tricky.
