Blaen-y-Glyn - Walking

Blaen-y-Glyn has a popular walking trail which also takes in Caerfanell Falls, Nant Bwrefwr, Torpantau Falls. The walks starts near the northern end of Pentwyn Reservoir in the Taf Fechan Forest and continue along the banks of Nant Bwrefwr stream with detours to the various waterfalls.
