About

Henrhyd Falls, is tucked away on the western edge of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). Plunging 90ft (27m) into a wooded gorge, it’s a natural wonder well worth a visit. Take a walk to the surrounding Graig Llech Wood, a tranquil location and a haven for plants and wildlife.
​​​​​​

The area can become very wet and muddy especially after rainfall, but this is one of the best times to see the falls. You can choose to walk towards the waterfall which is situated near the car park. Explore further into the tranquil surroundings of Graig Llech Woods for a longer circular walk through the Nant Llech valley. Look out for the disused watermill, the Melin Llech, along the way.

The walk along the footpath in the valley, will give you opportunity to see woodpeckers, tree creepers, warblers and wrens. Dippers and wagtails are often seen hunting for insects along the river. Trout can often be seen trying to jump up the lower falls.

A movie star

Hollywood blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises was filmed here. The falls became the location of the lair for the main character, Batman. The lead actor in the film was Christian Bale who can be seen disappearing behind the waterfall to enter the bat cave.

Henrhyd Falls is free of charge to visit and see.
