Henrhyd Falls

Are you a batman fan? Well, this waterfall is the entrance to the Bat Cave in Dark Knight Rises. A nice easy walk from the free car park it’s a great way to spend an afternoon or morning. There is a farm next door, Helen’s Farm where you can feed alpacas, sheep and horses. It’s free entry but you can purchase eggs from the farm or leave a cash or card donation.

Pen Y Fan

There’s various routes to take depending on your fitness needs or wants but all are breathtaking. Unfortunately it was very foggy when we walked up there but that in itself was very atmospheric. As with all walks up peaks bring warm clothing, waterproofs, hat and gloves. When I climbed Snowdon 2 years ago, I saw people with little cans of gin and tonic when they reached the top. Thought that was such a great idea I brought my own tinny of Malibu and Pineapple after the 90 minutes walk to the peak. (Please note, there was not intention to get drunk as that would be very dangerous!)
