A Welsh beauty spot has been hailed as the "best waterfall hike" in the UK, with visitors left mesmerised by its beauty.

TikTok user Sam Culley, known as samrculley, shared his discovery of the breathtaking site in a video, expressing his amazement at the stunning scenery. The avid hiker recommended it as an essential visit for waterfall enthusiasts.

The Four Falls Trail, in the Brecon Beacons, is a must-see for those seeking an authentic outdoor adventure. According to Sam, the journey starts at Cwm Porth car park, which also provides toilets, a small shop and a burger pod.

The hiker pointed out the presence of an additional overflow car park, ensuring ample parking availability. Parking fees are quite reasonable, costing approximately £5 or £6 at either location.

Sam described the trail as "nice and easy to follow" with excellent signage. After seeing its popularity, he understood why many are drawn to the area.

He revealed that the trail features "some of the best waterfalls he's seen in the UK". Sam acknowledged that the path isn't the simplest, with boardwalks, steps and slippery rocks, yet he found the hike enjoyable.

During his visit, Sam even took a dip in one of the waterfalls, likening the experience to relaxing in his "own little jacuzzi". It was an unforgettable moment for him.

He also mentioned that certain signposts alert you to any potential hazards, making it simple to stay safe while exploring. One particular waterfall offers the unique opportunity to walk behind it, contributing to what Sam described as a "spectacular" hiking experience.

The route is approximately four to five miles long and, although it's not an easy walk, the scenery makes it well worth the effort. Since being shared, the video has garnered more than 29,000 likes and numerous comments from viewers who have undertaken the walk.

Many described it as "great", but also warned that it can be tiring. One commenter wrote: "Thanks Sam. Did this walk today and had a dip."

Another said: "A fantastic walk... the steps back up from one of the falls nearly killed me." A third person commented: "I did this last month, and it's great. Really well sign-posted. Defo up there with one of my favourite walks."

Meanwhile, a fourth viewer added: "Beautiful place. We went up there in the summer last year. Absolutely stunning place."
