Waterfalls and Caves of Wales

This collection highlights the geological diversity of the Brecon Beacons National Park, featuring the 17-kilometre Dan-yr-Ogof cave system and the celebrated Four Waterfalls Walk. The list includes Sgwd yr Eira, where a public path leads directly behind the curtain of water. Beyond these natural features, the selection encompasses historic industrial engineering, including the 18th-century Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal and several expansive reservoirs and dams that define the region's upland landscape and water management history.
