Now that the summer holidays are fast approaching, a lot of people may be looking at places to visit and things to do.

And although there are many great places to visit in Worcester during the summer sometimes it is worth venturing a little further.

Henrhyd Falls in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park in South Wales could be the perfect day trip.

But Batman fans across the world may also know Henrhyd Falls as Batman's Bat Cave in the Hollywood blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises starring Christian Bale.

Christopher Nolan used the waterfall as the location for the infamous 'Bat Cave' which was Batman's secret hideout.

The 90 ft wall of water was seen in the final film of the trilogy as the location where Robin discovered the Bat Cave.

It is also one of the few waterfalls in the UK you can walk behind thanks to a pathway.

The waterfall is also believed to date back to the ice age.

The waterfall has gained even more popularity since being featured in The Dark Knight Rises. 

The waterfall used to be quite difficult to get to as visitors had to walk down a steep tree-lined hill and wade across a river.

But now a short walk through a woodland trail and footbridge will lead visitors to the waterfall.

Fans can even walk behind the water and into the entrance of the Bat Cave.

Although the waterfall is not near Worcester, as it will take you just over two hours to get there, the stunning backdrop and tranquil water might just convince you it's worth the visit.

Everything you need to know 

Drivers from Worcester will need to take the M5 before merging onto the M50 in order to get there.

Entry is free.

And the best place to park would be the National Trust car park which is near Coelbren, Brecon Beacons, SA10 9PH. 

The car park is normally full before 11am but there is alternative parking on adjacent farmland with a daily fee.

There are also several pubs near the falls including Prices Arms on Station Arms.

This pub has 4.5 stars on Trip Advisor and is only a four-minute walk or a 14-minute drive from the waterfall. 

Pen y Cae Inn on Brecon Road also has 4.5 stars on Trip Advisor and is a 10-minute drive or 35-minute walk from the falls.
