Can you walk behind Henrhyd Falls?

Sort of, but it's not a proper cave. There's a shallow, cramped alcove behind the water curtain where the rock is undercut, though it's damp, mossy, and drips constantly. The National Trust advises staying on designated paths because the rocks are slippery.

Where was the Batcave entrance in The Dark Knight Rises filmed?

At Henrhyd Falls in South Wales. The scenes showing Christian Bale disappearing behind the waterfall were shot at the natural recess behind the falls.

Is there parking at Henrhyd Falls?

Yes, there's a free National Trust car park near Coelbren (postcode SA10 9PG). The car park is small and fills quickly on weekends, especially after wet weather when the falls are at their best.
