The Waterfall Walk #2
From the Angel Inn car park in Pontneddfechan, drive up the hill on the B4242. Soon you will see the wonderful scenery of the southern fringes of the Brecon Beacons. After 4 miles you enter the village of Ystrafellte. Behind the New Inn there is a free car park.
Walk up the hill past the 12th. century Cistercian Church of St. Mary's
...and the 'Powys Village of the Year 2004' sign.
After a good 10 minutes from the village the road levels out and eventually a signpost, 'to the waterfalls', appears.
Take the small road to the right through the forest until you arrive at the car park. This car park charges £4. The one by the New Inn is free.
The track to the Sgwd y Eira ( waterfall of snow) is well-maintained. The walk is 30 minutes from the car park with the last 3 minutes a rough, steep path down to the waterfall.
It is possible to walk underneath the cascade.
