Henrhyd Falls
Sgwd Henrhyd
The highest waterfall in South Wales, a roughly 27 m curtain of water dropping from a gorge cliff, made famous as a filming location for The Dark Knight Rises.
The falls are managed by the National Trust. From a small car park near Coelbren, steep steps lead down for about 10 minutes to the falls. A path takes you to the cave behind the waterfall, where the entrance to the Batcave was filmed for the movie. The round trip takes about 30 minutes, or you can follow the gorge further downstream to the Nedd valley. Entry is free, parking spaces are few, and paths can be slippery in rain, so wear non-slip shoes.
