Sgwd Henrhyd - Visit the tallest waterfall in southern Wales.

Hidden within a beautiful wooded valley on the southern edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), Sgwd Henrhyd is the tallest waterfall in southern Wales. With an impressive drop of around 90 feet (27 metres), the waterfall is one of the region's most spectacular natural attractions and a favourite destination for walkers, photographers and nature lovers.

Located on National Trust land in Powys, the waterfall is reached via a scenic but steep woodland walk from the nearby car park. The trail descends into the valley, rewarding visitors with breathtaking views of the cascading water as it plunges over a dramatic rock face into the pool below. A path also allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall, creating a truly memorable experience.

Sgwd Henrhyd is not only renowned for its natural beauty but also for its geological importance. Sir William Edmond Logan, who later became the first Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, carried out significant geological studies here and discovered fossil trees near the base of the falls. The waterfall also gained international recognition after appearing as the entrance to the Batcave in the final scenes of The Dark Knight Rises.

Whether you're exploring the famous Waterfall Country, enjoying a countryside walk or searching for one of Wales' most picturesque beauty spots, Sgwd Henrhyd is an unforgettable place to visit.

Plan your visit to Sgwd Henrhyd and experience one of the finest waterfalls in Wales.
