The Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Park is its own ‘mountain range’ of six main sandstone peaks, with Pen y Fan the highest at 2,907 feet. It 520 square miles is made up of four regions – the Black Mountain to the west, the Fforest Fawr (Great Forest) and the Brecon Beacons in the centre, and the Black Mountains in the east.
Much of the park is grassy moorland grazed by Welsh mountain ponies and sheep. It is famed for its variety of waterfalls, including Henrhyd, and its caves, such as Ogof Ffynnon Ddu. The western section has been declared a Geopark and the entire park is an International Dark Sky Reserve. For long-distance walkers there is the 100-mile Beacons Way crossing the park and cyclists can enjoy the Taff Trail, from Brecon to Cardiff.
A popular walk is the Taf Fechan ridge walk, known as the Beacons Horseshoe. The park also supports climbing, watersports, hang-gliding and caving. Neolithic remains, Bronze Age burial cairns, Iron Age hill forts, Roman settlements and Norman castles illustrate the park’s fascinating history.
