The first is a 10-mile guided walk of eight separate waterfalls, which provides a rich showcase of Brecon\u2019s abundance of tumbling water. The second is a halved version, a walk covering four waterfalls which offers more time for photography. Both cost \u00a312.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking place in the Ystradfellte area of the Brecon Beacons National Park; both walks offer a chance to walk behind a waterfall, for those who are looking for the best photo opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tours are led by Andy Lamb, a mountain leader with over 25 years of experience coordinating guided walks in Wales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy is also the owner of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Wales Outdoors (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WalesOutdoors\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wales Outdoors<\/a>, a Cardiff-based company that offers a range of outdoor activities and bike hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing for his next tour on November 2nd, Andy said, \u201cThe feedback on the tours is amazing; everyone who has been on the waterfall walks so far has really enjoyed them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Active_5_waterfall2_SR.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Active_5_waterfall2_SR.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Active_5_waterfall2_SR-416x312.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Active_5_waterfall2_SR-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Active_5_waterfall2_SR-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The terrain to the waterfalls can be awkward, but it is well worth the view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy urged anyone interested in the tours to look at the reviews, as the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Wales Outdoors page on Tripadvisor (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attraction_Review-g186460-d5016148-Reviews-Wales_Outdoors-Cardiff_South_Wales_Wales.html#REVIEWS\" target=\"_blank\">Wales Outdoors page on Tripadvisor<\/a> had only excellent reviews.
