Car park at Ystradfellte, Aberdare CF44 9JF

A challenging walk with many steps, but the reward of going down is to see the waterfalls! This is an elevated walk with the need to walk down to the river level each time to take in the views.
The final waterfall allows you to cross the river by walking behind it. A fantastic experience, especially if visiting after rainfall.
Take waterproofs as you will get wet, and sensible shoes (and sensible thinking) as it is obviously slippery behind the fall.

This walk returns via a very quiet road with toilets (Pontneddfechan Village Hall) and a pub at 12 High St, Pontneddfechan, Neath SA11 5NP. Along the road walk back, there is also a shop at Rhos Filling Station, Ystradfellte Road, Neath SA11 5US

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
