ARE YOU VISITING THE BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK?

Whether you’re a first time visitor and are looking forward to that first and rather daunting climb up Pen-y-Fan (the highest peak in the UK south of Snowdonia) or have had the opportunity to explore the area further, there’s always plenty more to see in the Brecon Beacons.

Instead of heading straight back down to Storey Arms, why not make a day of it and complete the Pen-y-Fan horseshoe; lots of climbs, but well worth it! Other walks in the area take you up the Caerfanell waterfalls and around Torpantau. Another great circuit from Talybont on Usk takes you, past Talybont reservoir, where you can pay a visit to the Talybont on Usk Energy hydro Scheme (www.talybontenergy.co.uk) and carry on over Carn Pica or Tor-y-Foel and back via amazing mountain circuits. There are of course many more wonderful walks!



The Black Mountains lie east of the main Brecon Beacons range, with a softer, less remote but no less dramatic feel, combining impressive moorland peaks with idyllic green valleys. Walk from Crickhowell up Pen-Allt-Mawr and onto a circuit passing Waun Fach, the highest point in the Black mountains and back over Crug Mawr to the isolated village of Llanbedr. The area around Abergavenny includes the huge bulk of Blorenge,  the striking peak of Sugar Loaf and its smaller neighbour, Skirrid, with the oldest pub in Wales, the Skirrid Inn a great place for a rest stop nearby. Go north past Llanthony Priory and over Gospel Pass and you’ll get to Hay Bluff with fantastic panoramic views over the English borders and the historic market town of Hay on Wye.

Go west from the main Beacons range and you’ll reach the Carmarthen Fans; Fan Gyhirych, Fan Hir and Fan Brycheiniog and more. Stunning scenery and an even more remote part of the Brecon Beacons. This area also includes the amazing series of waterfalls that includes the stunning Sgwd –yr-Eira, which the bravest of us can walk under!

The national Park website www.breconbeacons.org tells you a lot more than I can.

But how I can help?
