A lovely amble along some of the prettiest waterfalls in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. There&#8217;s easy parking in the free car park and then the route is clear, with no stiles to clamber over. The paths are clear and its a sheltered spot which makes it suitable for almost all weathers. If you are talking little ones watch them carefully by the fast flowing waters and it can get slippery in wet weather. This is my favourite walk to take all visitors too when they come to stay with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_0afc0d2c57b0da3de1a625598a041d1b\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/23562866\/blaen-y-glyn-waterfalls?lat=51.845859&#038;lon=-3.365688&#038;zoom=16&#038;style=Leisure&#038;type=2d&#038;params=23562866&#038;params=blaen-y-glyn-waterfalls\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEXPLORE THIS ROUTE ON OS MAPS\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-usk-reservoir-circular-walk\">Usk Reservoir Circular Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blaen-y-glyn-waterfalls-walk-usk-reservoir.jpg\" alt=\"usk reservoir\" class=\"wp-image-13541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blaen-y-glyn-waterfalls-walk-usk-reservoir.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blaen-y-glyn-waterfalls-walk-usk-reservoir-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blaen-y-glyn-waterfalls-walk-usk-reservoir-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This circular route from Phillipa, around the Usk Reservoir to the west of Brecon provides well signposted walking (follow the mountain bike signs), away from the weekends you may not see another soul and you&#8217;ll have views over the water, into the woodland and on a clear day across to the Carmarthen Fans.

It&#8217;s great for a beginner as the path is very clear and simple to follow. You&#8217;ll also see other fellow hikers on your walk which is always great for confidence. But what it does do is give you a feel of being in the mountains, ridges rise either side of you and the view opens out as you get higher. Underfoot it varies from grass, mud and gravel and as you climb it can get puffy in places, but the final reward is the gorgeous lake of Cwm Llwch nestled below the northern ridge of Pen y Fan. Its a cracking spot for a coffee or a picnic lunch and sitting looking up at the peaks will leave you vowing to return to climb them another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_9321612068122d49174a70cf0638becf\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/19288180\/cwm-llwch-walk?lat=51.896081&#038;lon=-3.461133&#038;zoom=13.6686&#038;style=Leisure&#038;type=2d&#038;params=19288180&#038;params=cwm-llwch-walk\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEXPLORE THIS ROUTE ON OS MAPS\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mynydd-illtyd-walk\">Mynydd Illtyd Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mynydd-illtyd-walk-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mynydd-illtyd-walk-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mynydd-illtyd-walk-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mynydd-illtyd-walk-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mynydd-illtyd-walk.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk starts at Bannau Brychieniog Visitor Centre, there is a lovely caf\u00e9 and gift shop that can be visited before or after your walk.

You will find grassy paths with ponds, wide open space and choice to take your own route. Easy access to a quiet road through the common. A chance to spot some amazing wildlife including the rare Curlew during the summer months. The walk can be made as long or as short as required, breathtaking views for little effort.

Twmpa also known as Lord Herefords Knob not only sounds great but it\u2019s such a fabulous and gentle hike to bag yourself a trig and enjoy the mountains of South Wales. From the carpark just down from Hay Bluff at Gospel Pass, you can access a lovely trodden path from the road to the summit in as little as 20 mins. Standing at 680m you\u2019re officially on a mountain and you have access to several other peaks in the area. There are great views all around which is perfect for learning about spurs, valleys, bearings and back bearings!
