When we visited Henrhyd Falls, the flow wasn’t super strong, but it was still absolutely beautiful—peaceful and green all around. It’s wild to think this spot was used as the Batcave in a Batman movie. Honestly, I can’t imagine how they lugged all that equipment down there just for one scene! Definitely a if you want a mix of nature and a bit of film trivia. A place to visit. However the pathway is in places and can be slippery. If you are visiting the waterfalls wear waterproof clothing as the spray is quite intense. parking, stunning views, not too far from the (best time to go after a couple of days heavy rain).. Watch your step when navigating the path to go behind the waterfall... Has to be done.. Took the riverside path (Nant Llech trail).. A bit slippy in parts... Some wooden planks need replacing, but a lovely hike. Nice refreshment shack. Nice to visit, the is but relatively short. There was not much of a when we went but that is likely due to the recent dry weather. Parking is in the main carpark but very limited, it's £5 in the overflow car park, personally I don't think it would be the £5 as you can be in and out in an hour. A but relatively short down from the car on a fairly decent path. It was very showery when we visited which did leave the path a little slippery in places for others that didn't have sensible footwear! The fall itself was amazing and was carrying extra flow after the rains. We ventured along the path the other way too where some smaller can be found. At the top of the hill was a paddock with 3 Emu wandering around which I wasn't expecting to see. Well a visit. Henrhyd Waterfalls is a stunning spot, perfect for a short hike. The from the car takes about 10 minutes, and while it's quite steep, it's definitely manageable with the right footwear – hiking boots are recommended. The effort is well it once you see the breathtaking waterfall. The facilities are great too. There's an ice cream and burger shop on-site with a cozy tented area where you can sit and enjoy your treats. Overall, a lovely place to and enjoy nature. Amazing place. to park, a 15 mins walk, not suitable for push chairs, wheel chairs or those that struggle to inclines. Not heavy going but mildly challenging. The themselves are and well seeing. Again, the sure footed fairy better here, you can actually get behind the falls. Mixed group 8yrs to 52 yes, all enjoyed it, allow about 1 hour for your visit, more if you want to sit and soak up the beauty! Watch the wooden steps, one of our group slipped quite badly bruising their back, care needs to be taken. Wooden stairs in wet woods and all that. Henrhyd is absolutely stunning — a hidden gem surrounded by nature. The down to the is scenic and peaceful, and standing behind the is an unforgettable experience. The sound of the rushing and the lush greenery make it feel magical. A must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers! Walked here from Penycae, which was around 3km. There’s a small carpark with an info board and a cafe with some seats. As others have written the to the is short, but down a slope, which is pretty slippery underfoot when wet and the soil is clay. Once at the bottom, then you have to go up a small amount of wooden steps. When we came, we were the only ones here, but wouldn’t want to be going up and down these when its busy, especially as they were slippery. If you have dogs, you need to make a decision if they will be able to get up the steps and down them again. That said, when you get to the it’s it. Very picturesque and there is a path going behind the so you can see it from both sides. From this it’s possible to to another 3 waterfalls, we didn’t as we had the back to Penycae but if you have come in the car it’s something you may consider. Nice waterfall. Parked in the top car park, about a 5 to 10 minute (depending on you walking speed). Path ok, little uneven in places, but that is to be expected. Beautiful when you get there. Quiet when we went. Amazing Waterfall. For the hot weather it was refreshing to take a dip in the water. Gets pretty crowded between 11am-3pm. Things to consider - steps at some places, and paid parking both options available, a food van at the start if you get hungry, no rest rooms unfortunately. Definitely the trip from Cardiff and would go again. Nice little tucked away in countryside. Walking up and down hills to reach it was very nice on a very sunny day. Take some warm clothes when it’s not around 20 degrees as it can get chilly in the small valley between all the trees. As with all things like this its a trek downhill to get to and quite a back. To stand behind the fall requires a over wet rocks so not perfect for everyone but the are spectacular a a must see if in the area. . Parking is but the overflow parking which is run by the refreshment chagrs you a fiver Don't ask if they have a toilet as she'll have a meltdown falls, NT car which was very quiet when we arrived. There is a few hundred metre down quite a path and then some wooden steps. There is a narrow and slightly slippery path that takes you behind the which is well doing. The flow from the wasn't huge due to the long period of dry weather so we didn't really get wet but if there had been recent rain you need waterproof coat. There is a private overflow carpark next to the NT one which costs £5 but wasn't open when we went. There is also a sort of food place which was closed (it was mid October). Absolutely gorgeous here! The actual is maybe 5 minutes from the main car park, so it really isn't much of a to get there. There are surrounding trails you can with multiple smaller waterfalls that'll take about 2½ hours. Fairly in some places, so be careful. I went autumn time, and the colours were Henrhyd Waterfalls is situated in Neath, South Wales. It is a adventurous trip to get the waterfalls, especially in a rainy day. is not much bigger In summer time, but in rainy times. There is a car park. If this car is full, we can use a pay & (£5). is not much bigger In summer time, but in rainy times. There is a food hut, which serves English food, snacks and Ice creams. Also serves traditional Indian food as well. Parippuvada, uzhunnuvada, sukhiyan, vegetable samosas and chicken biryani etc.. Tall and spectacular waterfall. Easy to travel to by car and a good sized car at the top of the trail. This car is also free. Overflow car on site for those busy days but there is a charge of £5 for this. During my in July there was a burger van at the top of the trail selling drinks food and even ice cream. They take card payments. The car has an information board of the area and waterfall. To get to the you need to down a fairly trail down then across a bridge over the river that flows down from the and back up some wooden steps to the other side to get there. Once at the you can a small trail running to the side, careful of slippery rocks even in summer but this leads behind the where there is quite a space to either sit or take pictures in relative safety. At the foot of the there is a pool that you can take a dip in. Be aware this is mountain so it is very cold even in Summer. We arrived at 5pm after reading reviews about when it was busiest and had a lovely time. Absolutely waterfall, though I'm sure if there had been more it would be truly stunning. The was well maintained and involves some slopes, wooden bridges and steps. To get to the there's a wee bit of scrambling, but nothing that an overweight middle aged woman in flip flops, like me couldn't handle! There were quite a few young families, student groups and solo explorers today. Parking was fine, several spaces left. There's a lovely burger van and campsite by the car park. They take cards and sell ice creams too. The back up is steep, there's no benches to break it up. It's about 10 minutes there and 20 minutes back up. We really deserved the ice-cream at the top! If you do visit, please take your litter home with you. There are no public bins, we carried several discarded bottles and cans back up and disposed of them at home. Please treat the site with respect. Fantastic Batcave waterfall, one of the best in Wales! absolutely breathtaking to stand behind it (I bought a cheap large plastic coat so didn't get wet). Easy 5 minute from a car park, down some wooden steps. If the car is full, there's another car next to it for £5. Amasing waterfall, fun to be able to go in behind the waterfall. By the way, you will get wet. A short from the parking area. Beautyful nature on your way. Lovely walk, the was breathtaking! It's about 15min from car park. Pretty easy walk, no experience needed. Not suitable for wheelchairs/prams due to stairs. It was truly amazing. Note: you will get absolutely drenched if you go near the due to mist. An absolute must when visiting Wales. A big car for and easily sign posted. The itself is down a and somewhat slippery hill and walking across a wooden bridge and staircase so adequate footwear is required. The itself is about 10 minutes from the carpark to the waterfall. Once at the the pure beauty is captured by the rushing and area. There is a way to the right that once navigated you can behind the and into the cave, bring a coat ! You will get wet ! Definitely it though! A waterfall. My husband and I first came here 14 years ago when we first started dating, then we came back and took our 10 and 2 year old. It was wonderful reliving our memories together and creating more with our children. It's a dog friendly trail too and the steps to the make it easy to walk. My two year old walked the whole thing, apart from the hill back up to the car park. The car was free,but there's no toilets. The whole down to the can take you as little as half an hour,but we chose to take longer down and then spent ages down at the falls... having some snacks and throwing rocks into the water. Happy walking and remember to wear decent footwear. A to visit, especially with young children who won't manage the longer walks for some other waterfalls in the area. We had a 5 and a 7 year old and they loved it. A down and back up but only takes less than 10 minutes. We took beach shoes and a towel for a little paddle at the bottom. We arrived around 4.30pm and managed to get into the car - but if it's very busy the field next door is the overflow car park, charging £5. visiting late afternoon though - less busy for the car and less crowded for photos! Amazing place alot of up and down scrambling so need to be fairly fit. Views are amazing, and alot of photography shots to be had on walks to waterfalls. Best part of our holiday... not only misses birthday treat as loves waterfalls and woodland hikes but surprise proposal. Made extra amazing as behind waterfall.
