How Long Is the Waterfall Walk in Brecon Beacons? Here's What I Packed

 Last weekend, I joined a British classmate for a spontaneous hike along the Elidir Trail in Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s a two-hour loop that takes you past three stunning waterfalls, winding through muddy forest paths and quiet, unspoiled nature. 🚶‍♀️🌲

📍 We drove from Cardiff in about an hour since there’s no public transport to the area. Parking cost £6 for the whole day—simple and worth it.

💡 How long is the trail?

Roughly two hours at a relaxed pace, with some parts very muddy even in good weather.

Trail signs are minimal, so offline maps and local tips helped us find our way.

Most people we met were locals—likely because it's not accessible by bus and not crowded.

🎒 What I Packed in My Outdoor Expandable Backpack

We only needed to spend half a day on the trail, so I packed just what was essential:

- 🍱 Lunch (wrap + snack)

- 💧 1L water

- ☔ Lightweight rain jacket

- 🧻 Tissues & wet wipes

- 🔋 Power bank (no signal in places)

- 🌞 Sunscreen (yes, even in spring)

All of this fit easily into my outdoor expandable backpack, which stayed slim when empty but had room to expand when needed. Super useful for layering or packing away muddy gear.


✔️ Final Thoughts

It’s the kind of quiet nature walk that clears your head, gets your shoes dirty, and makes you want to do it again. If you're around Wales and want something raw, simple, and refreshing—this is it.
