Our guide to days out in the Brecon Beacons National Park, a stunning landscape from sweeping moorlands and wooded valleys to dramatic peaks and open countryside.
The Brecon Beacons National Park, known in Welsh as Bannau Brycheiniog, is one of South Wales’ most treasured natural destinations. Spanning over 500 square miles, the park is celebrated for its striking landscapes, from sweeping moorlands and wooded valleys to dramatic peaks and open countryside. Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for exploration, with well-marked trails for walking, cycling, and horse riding. The area is also steeped in history, with prehistoric monuments, Roman ruins, and medieval castles scattered across the landscape. Picturesque towns and villages within the park offer welcoming places to rest, enjoy local Welsh food and drink, and experience the region’s rich culture and heritage.
The Brecon Beacons is home to some of Wales’ most iconic natural landmarks, including Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain, and the enchanting falls of Waterfall Country. The park has also been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, attracting stargazers from near and far. Wildlife abounds, with red kites, wild ponies, and rare plant species flourishing in the diverse habitats. Whether you're seeking high adventure or peaceful reflection, the Brecon Beacons provides a truly memorable setting. Its unspoilt beauty, combined with a strong sense of place, makes it an ideal destination for visitors of all ages.
