Staying in a Tiny Cabin in Wales - A Weekend Travel Vlog
We went to a tiny cabin in Wales for a weekend microadventure. I wanted the video to reflect the relaxing time we had away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
We visited Pontneddfechan and went to Waterfall woods for a nice walk before returning to our tiny cabin or shepherds hut.
We stayed in the tiny shepherds hut type cabin thing in Tretower, Wales which is in the middle of the Brecon Beacons.
This is the Airbnb that we stayed in:

BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK & MOUNTAIN RAILWAY | WALES - UK
BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK & MOUNTAIN RAILWAY (WALES - UK)
The Brecon Beacons National Park was established in 1957. It was one of the first ten national parks to be created in Britain. The intention was to safeguard their beautiful, rough and dramatic landscapes, considered a priceless national asset.
Established in 1957, the Brecon Beacons National Park is the youngest of the three national parks in Wales. The other two Welsh national parks, Snowdonia and the Pembrokeshire Coast, were created earlier in the 1950s, along with important English national parks such as the Peak District, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
In 1965, the National Trust became the landowner of much of the common land in the Central Beacons, paving the way for the park’s development as a conservation area and tourist destination.
The National Park Authority later acquired other important tracts of land.
In 2000, the area around Blaenavon was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its significance in the production of iron and coal in the 19th century.
In 2005, Fforest Fawr became the first UNESCO European Geopark in Wales and in 2013, the night sky above the Brecon Beacons was granted special protection when the park was designated an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Walk under highest waterfall in South Wales
Henrhyd waterfall in the Nant Llech valley, is the highest waterfall in South Wales, with a drop of 27m. There's a car park nearby, just outside the village of Coelbren. From here, it's a short, steep and rocky but very nice walk. With care, you can walk under the waterfall as shown in this video. Henrhyd Falls and Graigllech Woods. Southern Britain's highest waterfall is tucked away on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. Plunging 90ft (27m) into a wooded gorge, Henrhyd waterfall is a spectacular sight and the surrounding Graigllech Woods are a haven for wildlife.

Swansea Ramblers walk to Henrhyd Waterfall
Swansea Ramblers explore Henrhyd Waterfall on a joint walk led by Cynon Valley Ramblers. We had a great walk and went to the birthplace of St Patrick in Banwen before passing a Roman Fort on our way to Henrhyd. After the walk we celebrated St David's Day at The Prices Arms where we had food and a Welsh themed quiz.
